New typhoon warning for Taiwan
Taipei (AFP) Jul 23, 2006 Taiwan's central weather bureau issued a warning over approaching Typhoon Kaemi Sunday, just 10 days after a tropical storm left three people dead on the island. The bureau warned of torrential rains and strong winds in the days ahead from Kaemi, which was 580 kilometres (360 miles) away at 0930 GMT but whose fringe was due to hit Taiwan's northeast late Monday. Residents in the north and northeast were urged to stay away from low-lying areas prone to flooding and to avoid beaches along the east coast. Kaemi had a radius of 200 kilometres with winds of up to 137 kilometres per hour at its centre, the bureau said. Tropical storm Bilis left three dead and two injured after pounding Taiwan July 13.
