TAIPEI, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Losses from Taiwan floods caused by Typhoon Morakot total T$110 billion ($3.4 billion) so far, Premier Liu Chao-shiuan said on Friday. Liu did not specify what kind of losses he was referring to. President Ma Ying-jeou said on Friday he expected the death toll from the typhoon that hit over the weekend to exceed 500, a jump from the official toll of over 100 now as hundreds could be buried in mudslides.
