More heavy rain fell in parts of Taiwan on Thursday from a tropical depression that caused flooding and brought a continued risk of landslides. A total of 95 people were injured around the island due to the storm that made landfall in southern Pingtung County on Wednesday evening. Authorities had evacuated more than 8,500 people from coastal and mountainous areas as Fung-wong approached. The depression had sustained winds of 54 kph near its centre and higher gusts Thursday. Northern coastal areas around the city of Yilan have had more than 1.065 metres of rain since Monday. Heavy rain was expected to continue through on Thursday near the northeastern port city of Keelung and around the capital, Taipei.
