Typhoon Game, with its packing winds equivalent to a category 4 hurricane, left a trail of devastation that resonated deeply in northeastern Taiwan. Restaurant owner Lely Chan witnessed the brute force of nature firsthand. "The roof fell and the water pipes burst," she recounted, her voice tinged with emotion. "I'm on the verge of crying now. I'm going to have to spend a lot of money, and I'm afraid the roof will fall and hit someone."
What happens when nature unleashes its full force? The typhoon brought an unprecedented amount of rain, triggering flooding in many parts of the island. Schools, offices, and financial markets were forced to shut down for a second day. Hundreds of flights were grounded, throwing travel plans into disarray. "The government has to take care of all these things," Chan emphasized. "They should have informed us so we could plan accordingly."
Meanwhile, in China's southeastern provinces of Fujian and Jiangxi, preparations had begun long before Typhoon Game made landfall. Over 150,000 people were relocated from coastal areas, and fishing boats were ordered back to harbor. Ferries, trains, and flights were cancelled in anticipation of the storm's impact. "Cities along China's coast are often struck by typhoons, and we have emergency responses in place," an official noted.
Typhoons are not unfamiliar to the region, and authorities in Fujian were ready with helicopters and ships on standby to handle any maritime emergencies. The storm was expected to bring heavy rain, raising the risk of further flooding. As downpours continued to batter the north of the country, including the capital Beijing, two national highways were blocked by mudslides and flooding. The heavy rain was predicted to last a week, adding more pressure to a region already grappling with record levels of rain this year.
In times of such natural disasters, the human spirit is put to the test. Lely Chan's struggle is a testament to the resilience required to face such adversity. As we witness the impact of Typhoon Game, it's crucial to remember the importance of preparation and awareness. "Make sure to stay informed and prepared," advises Laura Westbrook from Al Jazeera.

Typhoons may rage, and the skies may turn ominous, but the collective strength and preparedness of communities can make a significant difference in mitigating the damage. In the face of nature's fury, our resilience and unity remain our greatest assets.
