This NASA satellite image shows Typhoon Soulik on July 13, 2013. Soulik made landfall on the northeast coast of Taiwan around 03:00 am July 13 (2000 GMT July 12), packing winds of up to 190 kilometres an hour (118 miles), the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) said. Soulik battered Taiwan with torrential rain and powerful winds on Saturday that left two people dead and at least 100 injured. Roofs were ripped from homes, debris and fallen trees littered the streets, and some areas were submerged by flood waters. One town in central Taiwan reported "widespread" landslides and water levels a storey high. Around 8,000 people were evacuated from their homes before the typhoon struck, with hundreds of soldiers deployed to high-risk areas and the whole island declared an "alert zone" by the authorities.
