Typhoon Gaemi surging toward Taiwan

Typhoon Gaemi looks set to barrel over Taiwan and into China with winds of up to 185 kilometres an hour. It could be Taiwan’s first tropical storm of 2024. Typhoon Gaemi swelled, sped up, and began to spin northwest towards Taipei. Forecasts say Gaemi will grow to the equivalent of a category-three storm. Taiwan gets hit with an average of three to four typhoons yearly, mainly in the summer. The deadliest typhoon, Morakot, in 2009, killed more than 600 people.
