Disaster Situation
Typhoon Megi killed four, injured 329 and caused more than 6,000 road accidents as it barreled across Taiwan on Tuesday, ripping out trees and strewing signboards in its wake. According to NCDR, heavy rain and mudslides in Kaohsiung city had prompted a spike in the muddiness of the water into the village.
