More than 900,000 citizens flee homes in China, with approaching Typhoon Bavi toppling trees and cutting power across Taiwan and Japan.
Two landslides triggered by heavy rains driven by Bavi killed at least 15 people and left six others missing on the Philippines' southern island of Mindanao, authorities said.
Taiwan's weather forecaster warned on Thursday of "destructive" winds as the biggest typhoon in years swept towards the island after pounding US Pacific territories.
People in Guam and the Northern Marianas moved to emergency evacuation centers on Sunday, hours before a "super typhoon" was projected to bulldoze through the US Pacific territories.
