It was reported that contact was established with 2 tourists from the Czech Republic who lost communication while hiking in Taroko National Park, and their location was determined.

153 THOUSAND HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY

Severe winds and rain caused floods and landslides across the island, damaging homes, roads, and critical infrastructure. Taiwan Power Company reported that due to Typhoon Kong-rey, electricity was cut off to 153,000 households across the island, and 96,000 households still do not have electricity. Taitung and Hualien counties in eastern Taiwan were the most affected areas by the power outages.

FLIGHTS CANCELLED

Due to the typhoon, 241 flights were cancelled at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, and Taiwan Railway announced that train services on the eastern, western, and southern lines were suspended.

WIND SPEED OF 184 KILOMETERS PER HOUR

The Central Weather Bureau announced that Typhoon Kong-rey reached the town of Chinggong in Taitung County on Taiwan's southeastern coast around noon today and then moved inland in a north-northwest direction. A second-level alert was also declared in Fujian Province on China's eastern coast due to the typhoon. Train and ferry services were suspended in the province due to the typhoon, and construction activities in coastal areas and open seas were halted. As a precaution against potential disaster conditions caused by the typhoon, rescue ships, helicopters, and patrol boats are being kept on standby with their personnel. Additionally, it was indicated that excessive rainfall due to the typhoon could raise water levels in rivers in Fujian, as well as in the northern provinces of Jiangxi and Jiangsu and the coastal areas of Shanghai, prompting local governments to increase flood protection measures. Typhoon Kong-rey, carrying continuous winds reaching speeds of 184 kilometers per hour, became the 21st typhoon to occur in the Pacific Ocean this year.
