Yeah, it's quite possible. Meanwhile CWB has Taidong at 0% pop for tonight. 0%. That's bizarre. There's a ligntning out to sea, there's stuff emerging on the radar - surely it couldn't be 0%. Even tomorrow they only have it at 30. The year before Nari there was a typhoon with a poleward outflow that crept up the coast - huge floods in taipei - considered the worst in 100 years - until nari came along the next year. This typhoon seems to be following a similar path.

On October 27, Typhoon Xangsane hit southern Luzon of the Philippines. It turned to the north over the South China Sea, and after strengthening to a 100 mph typhoon it hit Taiwan. Xangsane dissipated on the 1st, after causing 181 casualties, 83 of which were from the crash of Singapore Airlines Flight 006 on October 31, 2000.
