More than 40 people were injured in Taiwan after Typhoon Haikui ripped across the island, uprooting trees and forcing thousands to evacuate.
Amid torrential rain and high winds, two people in a mountainous region were hurt after a falling tree hit a car.
Taiwan’s southern and eastern regions were the worst-hit, while the capital Taipei on the island’s northern tip received rains.
Haikui has now weakened to a tropical storm and moved out into the Taiwan Strait, heading to China’s southern coast where it is due to hit on Monday night local time.
It comes just two days after Typhoon Saola, which bypassed Taiwan but sparked Hong Kong and southern China’s highest storm threat in its approach.
Chinese authorities on Monday extended warnings from Saola into Haikui as the new typhoon approached, calling on boats to come into harbour with strong winds and big surf.
