This is quite an unusual path - looks to be coming up through the south of Taiwan, either entering through Pingdong or Kaohsiung. Pingdong always cops the rain, somehow, no matter where the typhoon enters, but it's also set up perfectly to drop large amounts on Taidong & Hualien. Those two counties, which often cop direct hits, don't often get massive precipitation from typhoons, but this is shaping up as a 'reverse-Morakot' (which entered through Hualien & dropped the brunt of its rain-load on Pingdong.) Ilan (& potentially Taipei) will also be in the firing line as it moves northward. Bottom-line is: get those drains dug out if you're on a rural property & consider evacuating if you're in a landslide prone area

Meanwhile, the forecast wind speed has jumped significantly to sustained winds of 120kts & gusts up to 140kts. That's super-typhoon territory, so this is now 'one-with-the-lot'.

The big danger is when it turns the corner beneath Taiwan from a westerly direction to a northerly one. When typhoons make sharp turns, they invariably slow down. When they slow down, that's when rain blasts the same area for a prolonged period. Right when it's at that turning point, a lot of the rain will be aimed at the south to mid east coast.
