Most typhoons come ashore on the island’s sparsely populated east coast, but Danas scraped its crowded western edge. Nearly 300,000 households had no power on Monday.

In Zhejiang and Fujian, maritime authorities halted passenger shipping operations, anticipating continued disruptions as Danas moved inland towards Jiangxi province. Jiangxi’s mountainous terrain was particularly vulnerable to catastrophic flooding during heavy rains, officials said.

Typhoon Danas has brought heavy winds and torrential rains to parts of Taiwan, killing two people and injuring more than 300 on the island’s densely populated west coast
