Typhoon Krathon brings with it heavy rainfall and gusts of wind, killing two and injuring over hundreds in its wake.

It is being dubbed as a 'weird' typhoon due to its hovering off the coast before reaching the land and its rare storm route.

Authorities have declared high alert and asked residents to take shelter.

Schools and businesses are closed for the second consecutive day and all domestic and international flights stand cancelled.
