Taiwan braces for Super Typhoon Bavi

Residents in northern Taiwan are preparing for Typhoon Bavi as authorities evacuate thousands of people, shut schools and businesses, and brace for torrential rain, flooding and winds of up to 155 km/h.

The storm is expected to make landfall in southeast China on Saturday after already causing deadly landslides in the Philippines and widespread damage in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
