The storm forced the shutdown of businesses and schools, and airlines canceled more than 350 flights as the island braced for landslides, floods and high seas, Reuters reported. Some 34,000 soldiers were deployed in the south amid fears of flooding.

據(jù)路透社報道，因臺灣正面臨山體滑坡、洪水和公海的危險，企業(yè)和學校被迫停課，航空公司取消了350多架航班。由于擔心洪水泛濫，南方部署了大約34000名士兵。

The storm, the first to make landfall on the island in more than two years, reached Taiwan Saturday afternoon with winds up to 85 miles per hour. Nearly 30,000 homes lost power and some areas saw flooding as it moved northwest across the island.

這場臺風是兩年多來首次登陸臺灣，于周六下午抵達臺灣，風速高達每小時85英里。臺風向西北移動時，近3萬戶家庭斷電，部分地區(qū)遭遇洪水。

Heavy rain was expected to continue through Sunday, Taiwan News said.

據(jù)《臺灣新聞》報道，大雨預計將持續(xù)到周日。

China issued an alert for its southern provinces to prepare for Bailu, which would be the 11th typhoon — the Pacific ocean equivalent of a hurricane — to hit the country this year.

中國氣象臺發(fā)布預警，要求南部省份做好迎接白鹿的準備。白鹿是今年襲擊中國的第11號臺風，相當于太平洋的颶風。
