"TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - A powerful typhoon swept over Japan's outlying
Okinawan islands and whirled toward northern Taiwan on Thursday,
threatening to trigger landslides and flooding on the crowded island.
Typhoon Sinlaku's eye passed over the Okinawa island chain Wednesday
evening, causing flooding and temporarily cutting off power in some places.
The fringe of the storm — packing surface winds of 89 mph — was expected to
start lashing Taiwan early Friday, and officials issued land warnings on
Thursday. However, the storm's eye would likely pass slightly north of
Taiwan, forecaster Lee Hsiang-yuan said.
By the late evening, three women had suffered minor injuries when they were
knocked down by strong winds and 2,900 homes on Okinawa were without of
electricity, NHK said.
A total of 128 flights connecting Naha with other Okinawan islands and
Japanese cities were canceled Wednesday, airport officials said."
