Typhoon Krathon, packing maximum sustained winds of 78 mph with gusts of 101 mph,was forecast to weaken into a tropical depression before it reaches the capital, Taipei.

A slow-moving typhoon approaching Taiwan led to school and office closures for a third consecutive day, with authorities asking people to stay indoors.

At least two people in Taiwan have died and more than a hundred are injured, after Typhoon Krathon made landfall earlier today. The slow-moving storm had been lashing the island with strong winds and heavy rains for days,
