Pingtung: Typhoon Koinu left at least one person dead as it grazed Taiwan’s southern tip, lashing the island with the strongest winds it has ever recorded and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of homes.
Koinu made landfall on the island’s southernmost Cape Eluanbi yesterday morning and was weakening as it moved into the Taiwan Strait by 3pm local time, according to the Central Weather Administration.
