Taiwan resumes normal activities as Typhoon Krathon dissipates

Work, classes, and flights resumed in Taiwan on Friday after Typhoon Krathon weakened and dissipated. The typhoon caused heavy rainfall and disruptions for three days, particularly affecting Kaohsiung and surrounding areas. While most of Taiwan returned to normal, some regions, including Kaohsiung and Pingtung County, remained closed. A heavy rain advisory is still in effect for northern coastal and mountainous areas, where landslides occurred. Krathon brought strong winds and significant rainfall, leading to flooding and two confirmed deaths. The storm's impact was less severe than initially feared, as it weakened after making landfall.
