Typhoon Hits Taiwan, Missionaries Safe
TAIPEI, TAIWAN (September 2, 2005) - Covenant missionaries Don and Lillian
Dwight are safe following a typhoon that struck the island Thursday,
reports David Dolan, coordinator for Chinese ministries for the
Department of World Mission of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
The Dwights report an uprooted tree and a loss of power that already has
been restored. "We have five or six typhoons each year there," Dolan
says. "They're pretty well set for them." Typhoons are the same as
hurricanes, Dolan notes.
News services report two people dead and 24 injured as a result of
Typhoon Talim. Train services were suspended across the nation and
several airports were closed. As many as 1.5 million people temporarily
were without power.
