Taiwan issued a land warning on Wednesday ahead of the arrival of Typhoon Kong-rey, which will bring driving rain and strong winds across a swathe of the island. Kong-rey is forecast to make landfall as a strong category 4 typhoon late morning on Thursday on Taiwan's sparsely populated and mountainous east coast in the county of Taitung. It is then expected to cross Taiwan's south, enter the Taiwan Strait and head towards China, Taiwan's Central Weather Administration said. Subtropical Taiwan is frequently hit by typhoons. The last one, Typhoon Krathon, killed four people earlier this month as it passed through the south of the island.
