Right on the verge now. Pingtung always seems to cop it wherever the typhoon goes - but this one is going directly there, so interesting to see what happens. The eye can offer a little relief - but you do need to navigate through the eye-wall ...

CWB has two windiest places currently as Lanyu (no surprise) & Penghu, which is a little surprising. Shows how the wind wraps around Taiwan & barrels down the strait even quite far from the centre of the storm. The wind image below shows how it makes a perfect '6' formation.

The eye is quite big, making the track somewhat deceptive. Although it's going through the southern tip of Taiwan it's about 50km wide - which puts Taidong City right in the firing line of the northern section of the eye-wall - which is the strongest part wind-wise.
