Yes, and there is also quite a discrepancy between jtwc and cwb with cwb having it's track much further east and still heading towards kenting and up the coast while jtwc is heading more towards your neck of the woods. When typhoons get close, i tend to go with the CWB track - they update more often for one thing.

just started raining here in earnest and i still think the signs are that this could be a massive rain event typhoon. coming up from the south, the whole system, including the brunt and the outflow (which is mostly equatorial)will work over wherever it hits.when a typhoon comes from side on, you just get one or the other, but this will be both barrels. if it stalls near here, which is a distinct possibility.then it could be catastrophic.
