Bavi Looms Over East Asia as Philippines Landslides Leave 15 Dead
Typhoon Bavi, one of the largest storms in decades, is barreling toward East Asia, threatening Taiwan, Japan’s remote islands, and southeastern China as deadly landslides in the Philippines kill at least 15; flights are canceled, schools closed, and authorities brace for heavy rain (up to 1 meter in Taiwan) with 29,000 troops on standby and the possibility of multiple landfalls in China.
