Pretty poor work from CWB i would have thought. Where's the passion for getting the correct info out there? Especially when it's of potentially life and death importance. The radar images from last night clearly showed that the typhoon was heading inland, 100's of kms south from where they were predicting it to go, but they neglected to correct their forecast track which still showed it staying well off the coast and just glancing the north east tip. Sometimes i wonder if they even bother looking at their own radar and sat images instead of just playing with their computer generated models.

The current situation looks pretty dire for central Taiwan. Would expect massive landslides and major damage. Those people really could have done with a bit more warning. Let's hope there aren't any lives lost due to this incompetent bungle.
