Haikui had initially appeared to depart the island but made a second landfall early Monday in southwest Kaohsiung before moving out into the Taiwan Strait. There were no reports of deaths. More than 100 people suffered injuries during the typhoon, according to authorities, though they were minor — mostly due to fallen trees and car accidents. Destruction was seen in coastal Taitung, a mountainous county in lesser-populated eastern Taiwan where the storm directly hit the day before. «This is the first time I have seen such a big typhoon in my life,» said Chen Hai-feng, 55, a village chief in Taitung's Donghe township.
