Strong winds from Typhoon Fengshen knock down trees across Changhua, injuring three
Typhoon Fengshen brought strong winds to Changhua, Taiwan, knocking down trees and power lines and hurting three people — a local, weather-driven disruption rather than a market-moving event.
- Changhua's disaster response center logged 134 incidents by midday, mostly fallen trees and downed wires from the wind.
- Three people were hurt after being hit by falling roadside trees or crashing their scooters in the gusts while riding.
- A 20-meter-tall tree fell near a park road leading up to Baguashan and damaged a parked ambulance; several other roadside trees snapped in the same area.
- Of the 134 reported cases, 50 have been resolved and 84 are still being handled.
Outlook: Local officials expect the typhoon's effects to peak through today and into tomorrow, and are continuing storm-response measures as conditions are monitored.
