Super Typhoon Kong-rey (Weather)

Here's Xang-sane's track, the insane rain typhoon at the end of October in 2000 that caused massive flooding in northern Taiwan.

Xang-sane, sfaik, is the last typhoon to make landfall in Taiwan this late in the year. The paths are not that dissimilar. Kong-rey is way more powerful wind-wise, though.

Looking at the current rainfall data, Kong-rey's biggest impact so far is in Taipei, Shilin/Beitou. What's biggest on approach can be a sign of where the heaviest shit is heading. As was the case with Xang-sane, it's the chimney stack effect where it feeds in for days that does the damage.

The north east does have the dong-bei-ji cold-front coming into play as well, which can be an explosive interaction in terms of rain.
