Deadly Typhoon heads toward Taiwan: PDF Print E-mail

Taipei (AFP) June 22, 2008

A typhoon which left at least 155 people dead in the Philippines and
caused a ferry carrying 800 to sink may hit Taiwan, the Central Weather
Bureau here warned Sunday.

Typhoon Fengshen lost its steam after lashing the central Philippines
Saturday but could still cause problems in Taiwan, a forecaster said,
saying it would likely bring strong storms and heavy rain.

"Its power was reduced... enabling it to become from a typhoon to a
storm," Wu Teh-jung, an official of the bureau, told reporters.

"We do not rule out issuing a storm alert Monday," he said.
