At least two people are dead and 66 others injured after super typhoon Nepartak slammed into Taiwan’s eastern coast Friday.

超強颱風尼伯特星期五在臺灣東海岸登陸，造成至少兩人喪生，66人受傷。

More than 15,000 people had to be evacuated in preparation for the storm’s landfall Friday morning and more than 500 flights had to be canceled, according to emergency authorities.

臺灣負責緊急狀況的部門說，尼伯特颱風星期五早上登陸前，一萬五千多民衆被疏散，500多架航班被取消。

After the storm made landfall in Taitung County, it weakened to a medium-strength typhoon. Nearly 400,000 homes lost power due to the storm, with most of them coming from Pingtung and Taitung counties.

尼伯特在臺東縣登陸後，風力減弱，降至中度颱風。這次颱風造成近40萬戶人家停電，受影響的主要是屏東縣和臺東縣。

The storm is expected to hit mainland China later Friday.

預計颱風星期五晚些時候將在中國大陸登陸。
