Where it stands
Super Typhoon Bavi has intensified into a Category 5 storm, battering Japan’s southern islands—including Ishigaki—with violent winds and storm surges. Taiwan has evacuated thousands, shutting down schools and businesses ahead of landfall. Southeast China has canceled flights and trains, raising emergency alerts as Bavi approaches coastal regions after a week of deadly storms in the area.
Coverage highlights the storm’s rapid escalation, with Reuters and the *South China Morning Post* reporting widespread disruptions in transportation and infrastructure. Pacific territories like Guam and Rota, home to critical military bases. Meanwhile, Al Jazeera and *Phys.org* focus on the Philippines’ landslide fatalities, linking them to Bavi’s outer bands.
Watch for real-time updates on Bavi’s trajectory, particularly as it nears Taiwan and China’s southeastern coast. Authorities may extend evacuation orders if the storm weakens more slowly than forecast. The Philippines’ death toll could rise if additional landslides occur in Bavi’s wake.
