Danas is forecast to bring between 100mm and 250mm of rainfall across a 650km stretch from Fuzhou in Fujian province to Hangzhou in Zhejiang, triggering flash flood warnings

Typhoon Danas lashed southern Taiwan with record winds and strong rain early on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 630 in a rare hit to the island's densely populated west coast.

Most typhoons come ashore on the island’s sparsely populated east coast, but Danas scraped its crowded western edge. Nearly 300,000 households had no power on Monday.
