Satellite imagery released by the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) shows the typhoon approaching Taiwan, bringing “torrential rain and strong winds” to the area.

Schools and offices across Taiwan were closed for the second day in a row, according to local reports, and officials warned of potential wind speeds up to 114 mph.

At least 13 people were killed when the storm hit the Philippines, according to local reports.
