Strong winds from Typhoon Fengshen knock down trees across Changhua, injuring three

Oct 23, 2026

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.
