There’s another big typhoon brewing off the coast of Taiwan — and this one is huge. It’s now classified as a “Super Typhoon,” meaning it is a Category 4-5 with winds over 150mph. Different projections show it either grazing the southern tip of Taiwan before turnin up the Taiwan Strait, or a direct hit over the mountains with the eye passing almost directly over Taichung. I’m actually hoping for the second scenario. The mountains are pretty effective at breaking up typhoons and preventing serious damage. I’ve been told the most dangerous (and the rarest) typhoons are those that curl around Taiwan and head up the west coast, with no mountains for protection.
Anyway, looks like no school on Monday, but I’ll be trapped at home waiting out the storm.
Super Typhoon Jangmi looms large to the southeast of Taiwan. That is one mean looking eye.
