(Bloomberg) — China canceled dozens of flights and trains in preparation for Typhoon Doksuri, which has shuttered much of southern and eastern Taiwan after bringing torrential rain and strong winds to the Philippines.

At least 11 people died in the Philippines, according to the country’s disaster management agency and local authorities, and there was one fatality in Taiwan. The massive storm is packing sustained winds up to 155 kilometers (96 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 191 kph. It was about 190 kilometers southwest of Taiwan’s southernmost point as of 3:15 p.m. local time.
