Typhoon Megi hits Taiwan causing rockslides
After wreaking havoc on the Philippines, Typhoon Megi has made landfall in Taiwan– causing rock-slides that blocked roads and stranded travellers after Megi hurled winds at 100 miles per hour across the island nation.
Officials say Typhoon Megi has brought heavy rains to north-eastern Taiwan, triggering massive rock-slides on a coastal highway that have trapped as many as 400 travellers.
The Defence Ministry says soldiers are trying to remove the rocks to get to the trapped travellers on the highway in Ilan County, about 90 miles (150 kilometres) southeast of the capital, Taipei. It added that none of the people, including 235 tourists from China, are injured so far.
