Super Typhoon Nepartak blasted Taiwan with 150 mile per hour winds on Thursday night and Friday, local time. The storm, in a weakened state, is now spreading heavy rains and strong winds into mainland China.
According to the Associated Press, at least two people have died and 72 were injured in the typhoon.
At the time of the storm's landfall just south of Taitung City at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, local time, the storm was classified as a Category 4 Super Typhoon, though it was weaker than its peak as a Category 5 storm earlier in the week.

The scope and severity of the storm's damage will not be known for several days, as heavy rain continues to fall in the high terrain of central and eastern Taiwan. Rainfall amounts of around three feet are likely in this area, which could cause extensive flooding and mudslides.
The storm is forecast to hit China's Fujian Province as a Category 1 or 2 typhoon. In China, the greatest hazard from this storm will be its heavy rainfall.
Some of the same areas that saw deadly flooding in recent weeks could be in for more rounds of heavy rainfall as the storm slowly turns north-northeastward toward Shanghai.
