Typhoon Megi
Typhoon Megi is west of Taiwan tracking north towards Hong Kong. It's not likely the storm will hit Taiwan directly. Still, the school I visited this morning sent their kids home midday. Most businesses in the area have closed, and there is little activity in the streets. I'm holed up for the night with a Tsingtao and cache of instant noodles watching Nat Geo waiting for some action. So far, just some transient rain and gusts of wind. [update: I am on the southern part of the island.]

ReplyDeleteYeah, it's bad news in the Northeast. That happened yesterday, and the typhoon is closest today. I've been told that the mountains on the east side are the worse place to be when it storms b/c of landslides and road collapses.
