TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A typhoon killed has three people in Taiwan as it approaches the island where air travelers have rushed to board remaining overseas flights. People trapped by the storm’s floodwaters in the Philippines are calling for help in the Southeast Asian nation where at least 13 died. Taiwan’s Central News Agency says more than 220 other people have been injured as Typhoon Gaemi gathers strength and brings strong winds and heavy rain. Parts of mainland China are also preparing for its effects. Fishing boats were recalled to port amid turbulent seas. High winds knocked down some pedestrians and motorbike riders.
