Fallen Trees Cut Power in Yilan, 9,000 Homes Still Waiting for Restoration
Typhoon winds knocked down trees across Yilan, Taiwan, cutting electricity to thousands of homes and leaving repair crews racing to reconnect them.
- Strong winds from Typhoon Fengshen ripped up roadside trees overnight, snapping power lines across Yilan County.
- Over 23,000 households lost power at the peak; about 9,000 are still waiting for electricity to come back.
- Main power lines are mostly working again, and crews have been sent out to fix the remaining damage.
- Heavy rain also flooded low-lying roads in a village in Dongshan Township, blocking traffic, and 126 trees fell at a sports park in Luodong.
Outlook: Power should be restored to most remaining homes soon as repair crews clear fallen trees and reconnect lines.
