Typhoon Danas slammed into southern Taiwan on July 10, 2025, with powerful winds and torrential rain, injuring hundreds and causing widespread destruction. The storm damaged homes, uprooted trees, and disrupted power for thousands, while agricultural losses are expected to be significant. Emergency services are clearing roads and aiding affected communities, but recovery will take time due to the scale of the damage. Meteorologists noted Danas’s exceptional strength, linking it to warmer ocean temperatures that fuel intense typhoons. The event has prompted calls for improved disaster preparedness in Taiwan, a region prone to such storms.
