BBC:
At least 16 people have been injured in one of the most powerful typhoons to hit Taiwan in recent years.
Typhoon Haitang, with winds of up to 184 km/h (114 mph), has already dumped nearly a metre of rain in mountainous areas in the north-east of the island.
Talked to my friends Mammoth and Crystal in Kaohsiung last night just as the storm was making landfall. Sounds like quite a hurricane. You can follow the storm’s progress by checking out news stories here, photos here, and blog posts here.
(Sidenote: when we left Taiwan, Jill and I sold our scooter to our friend Miriam; according to this account from her boyfriend Pete, they had to abandon our beloved fuzzy amid a torrent of rain and wind.)
