Well that's interesting. It looks like southern Taiwan is going to get something substantial regardless of whether it takes a direct hit. The fact that this is forecast to turn poleward means that even a slight shift north earlier in the track could be very bad. And if it does clear the south then turn poleward in a sharper manner than forecast, that's the scenario where Kaohsiung/Pingtung get hit very hard.

One thing's for sure. This thing is a monster.
