Episode Details

Typhoon Bavi is barreling toward Japan’s southwestern islands, bringing 100 mph winds and torrential rain that could trigger deadly landslides and floods. Islanders like those in Ishigaki are scrambling to stock up on essentials as businesses brace with windproof nets and shut down ferry terminals. Taiwan’s markets closed and residents in the north and east were told to stay home, while officials distributed sandbags. Though Bavi won’t slam into Taiwan directly, heavy rain is expected Friday, followed by a weakening push toward China’s coast. Airlines are grounding flights—especially out of Taiwan’s main airport—as the whole region braces for one of the most severe storms in years.
