Friday evening, 24 hours before Krosa
I just stopped down at 7-11, where the LCD ad screen had a pic of Krosa encroaching on our fair island. Down here in Taichung, protected by 3000 meter mountain walls, the storm's fury is not nearly so violent.
Krosa looks like it is going to be a bad one. It's not even here yet, but it is already doing all sorts of damage.
Krosa is still picking up steam, so stay tuned for more

Thanks again for these little photo-tours. Very enjoyable. Good luck with the storm, if it hasn't already passed. Their size and frequency are very foreign to me in my prairie home. We had our first sprinkle of snow yesterday.
Regards,

Taipei was a mess. I think that was the worst storm I've seen since I've been living in Beitou (about a year and a half).
I think it's probably the strongest typhoon I can remember since Herb, back in '96. It did the same thing as a typhoon I recall from the early '80s: basically staggering along slowly, stopping, and then lurching on again, and even going in circles. That type of typhoon tends to be the most destructive. It caused a lot of problems here in Hsinchu, especially in the mountains.
