Then well done CWB. they were the only ones who had it coming here 5 hours ago. That 'escaped blob' has exploded on the north east coast. It's like an opening salvo and shows that this typhoon is carrying massive rain.
Lots of thunder and lightning here, but no real rain so far, thoug looks eminent. But what a place! Out drinking with the Amis real estate lao ban celebrating the buying of the business, hot, sweaty, beers, singing, lightning everywhere, long rolling thunder, full moon, huge typhoon lurking out to sea ... very Taiwan.
