Taiwan Raises Jangmi to Super Typhoon, Issues Alerts (Update2)
Sept. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau issued a land alert on Typhoon Jangmi after upgrading the storm to a super typhoon, as wind speeds accelerated to an estimated 227 kilometers (141 miles) an hour.
The eye of the typhoon was about 560 kilometers east- southeast of the southern coastal town of Eluanbi at 11:30 a.m. local time, the bureau reported on its Web site. The eye may move to 140 kilometers east of Eluanbi offshore by 11 a.m. tomorrow, the bureau said.
It issued alerts today warning of landslides, falling rocks and floods, adding to an alert sent yesterday for shipping vessels. Winds are already affecting the eastern and southern parts of Taiwan, the bureau said.
Jangmi may land in China on the night of Sept. 29 after passing through Taiwan, the Fujian Meteorological Bureau said on its Web site today. The typhoon could ``severely affect'' the eastern Chinese province as it gains strength, it said.
