Deadly Typhoon Gaemi has made landfall in China after sinking two large ships and causing an oil spill, bringing havoc to Taiwan and the Philippines.
The storm has killed at least 22 people in the Philippines and three in Taiwan.
Efforts are underway to clean up an oil spill that could reach the Philippines capital following the sinking of a tanker in rough seas.
Wind gusts of 240 kilometres an hour are being recorded – making Gaemi the strongest storm to strike Taiwan in eight years.
The island's largest annual military drills have been cancelled along with hundreds of flights.
Authorities have also had to shut schools and offices while the storm passes through.
