TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Tropical Storm Fung-wong has caused flooding and utility outages, leaving 51 people injured and thousands displaced.

Fung-wong has triggered 349 incident reports nationwide, per CNA. In Yilan County, 25 locations remain flooded, with thousands of households without power or water as emergency crews race to restore services.

The Central Weather Administration said Yilan County saw torrential rain on Tuesday due to the tropical storm’s outer bands and a northeast monsoon.

Landslide-prone areas include the mountainous regions of Yilan, Hualien, and Taitung counties, as well as Taipei and New Taipei. As of 7 a.m. on Wednesday, the Central Emergency Operation Center reported 99 flooding incidents nationwide, 76 of them in Yilan.
