Typhoon Champi lashes Taiwan with powerful winds, leaving at least one person dead and hundreds injured. In Taipei, uprooted trees crush vehicles, motorcycles are toppled, metal sheets are torn away, and debris litters roads as fierce gusts and squally rain batter the city. Residents describe the frightening conditions as power outages add to the disruption. Although Champi is weakening after being one of the Pacific’s strongest storms this year, dangerous winds continue as it moves north towards China’s coast.
