Typhoon Bavi has forced nearly two million people to evacuate their homes in China. Northern Taiwan and Japan's islands also experienced severe weather and power outages. Extreme storms previously caused at least thirty-nine deaths and widespread flooding in China. The typhoon is expected to make landfall in China's eastern Zhejiang province soon. Many flights and train services were cancelled across affected regions due to the storm.

Hundreds of people in Taiwan have been evacuated from their homes, and many schools and offices closed, as the biggest typhoon in decades sweeps towards the region on Friday.

Typhoon Bavi was first expected to pass north of Taiwan, bringing heavy rains to the island of 23 million people from Friday night into Saturday. | World News
