Taiwan’s fire department reported 527 injuries from Typhoon Champi and said the death toll remained one, with the fatality a man swept away by waves from Liuqiu Island during heavy wind and torrential rain [E2].

Champi’s forecast track showed the storm turning north toward the Chinese coast and eventually moving into southern Japan [E1].

A Friday update from Taiwan’s Central Emergency Operations Center had recorded 94 injured [E3]. The paper last covered Typhoon Bavi in July; the current report concerns Typhoon Champi [E4][E2].
