Typhoon Doksuri brought strong winds and rain to Taiwan’s eastern and southern coasts on Thursday, forcing the closure of schools and businesses in two of the country’s biggest cities.

According to Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau, Doksuri deteriorated even more on Thursday, with sustained winds of 155 kph (96 mph) and gusts as high as 190 kph (118 mph). Although the typhoon’s center won’t make landfall on Taiwan’s mainland, its periphery will nevertheless bring heavier gusts and rain on Thursday afternoon.

Tens of thousands of homes in Kaohsiung and Tainan were temporarily without power as a result of the storm, but the majority of them, according to the Taiwan Power Company, had their power restored as of 11 a.m. on Thursday.

On Thursday during the day, the storm will pass through the Taiwan Strait before making landfall on Friday in China’s Fujian province.
