PRIPREME PRED OLUJU

Tajvan zatvorio poduzeća i otkazao letove uoči tajfuna Krathon

Tajvan je u utorak prizemljio stotine letova, zatvorio škole, urede i financijska tržišta uoči dolaska tajfuna Krathon, pri čemu je zabilježen jedan smrtni slučaj. Dužnosnici grada Kaohsiunga, koji će biti u središtu oluje, stanovnicima su rekli da ostanu u kućama te da izbjegavaju more, rijeke i planine. Tajfuni često pogađaju tajvansku planinsku i rijetko naseljenu istočnu obalu na Pacifiku, no Krathon bi trebao doći na ravan, zapadni dio otoka.
