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 lashed southern Taiwan with record winds and strong rain early on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 630 in a rare hit to the island's densely populated west coast.
