Tembin made landfall around 5am across the southern tip of Taiwan. Travelled quite a way south down the coast before eventually crossing - well, i say eventually, but it was 7 hours before it was predicted to do so by CWB. As such it only needs to traverse a thin strip of land which should allow it to maintain structure and regenerate once it gets back over ocean.

The situation here is that the wind has dropped off considerably and is no longer a danger, but the rain is still torrential and could present problems. Frequent rumbling of thunder outside. Wind coming from east.

Highest rainfall so far (since yesterday) is 237ml at Fuli in Hualien. Though there have been places in Pingdong that have had 200ml since midnight and they will most likely end up with the most rainfall and face the greatest risk of landslides and flooding.

Just checked rain guage and there's been 162 ml in XC since it started raining yesterday. Expect this to go up to about 250ml by the time it's finished.

Wind has dropped off further in last 10 mins and may be changing direction.
