Taiwan's meteorological authority lifted warnings for Typhoon Dujuan at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday after it battered the island, disrupting traffic and causing casualties on Monday.

At least two people were killed and 324 were injured when the typhoon made landfall in eastern Taiwan on Monday evening, the island's emergency operation center said.

The center of Typhoon Dujuan left Taiwan at 1:00 a.m Tuesday from Fangyuan Township in western Taiwan's Changhua County after a three-hour stay in the island, the meteorological department said.

Most of Taiwan continued to experience rain and strong winds.

Dujuan caused power outages to more than 1.95 million households at some point during Monday. Some 500,000 households are still without power, according to Taiwan power company.

The island's high-speed rail lines and regular train networks resumed service on Tuesday afternoon.

Bon Jovi's live concerts originally scheduled on Monday and Tuesday in Taipei were both canceled, the local promoter said, which means there would be no concerts for the American music legends who arrived in Taiwan on Sunday.
