Taiwan braces for Super Typhoon Bavi • FRANCE 24 English

Locals line up sandbags on their front gates, as this flood-prone neighbourhood of Taipei prepares for Typhoon Bavi. Expected to barrel towards northern Taiwan, bringing torrential rainfall, flooding and maximum sustained winds of 155 km an hour. I plan to stack as many sandbags as possible to block water.

I hope we don't have to use it this time, because the drainage system has improved, which was quite small in the past. Now that we've upgraded the system, let's hope that we can escape the typhoon. More than 2,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in the north.

Businesses and schools in the region are shut. Several flights have also been cancelled. These fishermen had to return to port weeks earlier than planned due to the typhoon's strength.

It's huge. It's a super typhoon. You absolutely have to come back.

It's too dangerous. If you're only even just a day late getting back, and if you're not sure exactly where the typhoon is headed, you won't have time. Bavi is expected to head west and make landfall in southeast China on Saturday.

Authorities say 17,000 people have been evacuated in Zhejiang, and tens of thousands of rescue workers have been placed on standby. Earlier this week, it hit Guam and the northern Marianas as a super typhoon, causing major damage to infrastructure. Fifteen people were killed in landslides in the Philippines, caused by heavy rains triggered by the storm.

So, let's risky and clean up. How's that happiness? So, let's go.

All right. Now, I'm here. This morning State headphones is logged to me.

Here it is. til me here. Now, the iern in the early day
