A strong and unusual Typhoon Krathon made landfall in southwestern Taiwan on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of two people and prompting a second day of shutdowns across the island.

Typhoon Krathon has significantly disrupted normal life in Taiwan, prompting authorities to close schools and offices across the island.

Typhoon Krathon struck a remote group of Philippine islands near Taiwan on Monday, causing power outages and communication disruptions, according to the state weather service.
