Yilan, Taiwan—Taiwan closed schools, suspended the stock market, and declared a typhoon holiday Wednesday as Gaemi barrelled towards the island, bringing torrential rains and whipping winds to its northeast.
The weather forced the self-ruled island to cancel some of its annual Han Kuang war games—which test preparedness for a Chinese invasion—but an anti-landing drill went ahead as scheduled on Wednesday morning on Penghu island, west of Taiwan. “We expect that the impact of the typhoon will be extended to four days ,” said Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration chief Cheng Jia-ping, adding that the public would need to “take precautions against heavy rain and strong wind.”
“When the teacher announced the typhoon holiday last night, the whole class cheered,” Su told Agence France Presse , adding that he was “not too worried” about the typhoon’s impact.
