Typhoon Champi swept past Taiwan on Saturday, killing one person and injuring more than 500, as powerful winds and torrential rain brought down trees, disrupted flights and knocked out electricity to thousands of homes, according to the Times of India.

Taiwan's fire department said 527 people were injured and kept the death toll at one, a man swept away by waves on Liuqiu Island. State-owned utility Taipower said more than 167,000 homes had lost electricity at one point.
