A landslide blocks part of the Southern Cross-island Highway in Taitung County yesterday. The Siouguluan River swells to nearly the height of Yuli Bridge in Hualien County yesterday due to rain from Typhoon Doksuri. The storm yesterday brought 350mm of rain to Hualien, Taitung and Pingtung, bureau forecaster Chu Mei-lin (朱美霖) said. Winds would begin to die down in Taiwan proper with the departure of the typhoon today, Chu said. Meanwhile, bureau forecaster Huang En-hong (黃恩鴻) said that a tropical depression off Guam was expected to become Typhoon Khanun.
