#Typhoon #Danas (now downgraded to #SevereTropicalStorm) has come and gone. Where we live up in North #Taiwan is mostly fine. However, southern cities and counties such #Chiayi suffered pretty bad damage.

#Typhoon #Danas, which 2 days ago was forecast to skirt past us along the Taiwan Strait, actually just made landfall in #Chiayi County.

Much of #Taiwan is closed for business and school on Monday, except for #Taipei, #NewTaipei, #Keelung, and #Taoyuan which will remain open. It's gonna be a "great" morning commuting in the rain for those living up north. 🤷‍♂️

#Taiwan will start to feel the change in weather soon, thanks to #TropicalStorm #Danas! The CWA has just issued Land Typhoon Warning for #Chiayi, #Tainan, #Kaohsiung, #Pingtung, #HengchunPeninsula and #Penghu under an hour ago, and the warning areas are expected to extend northward throughout the next day or two. Much of the west coast will see > 80% chance of storm force wind conditions between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.

On the way to Southern Branch of National Palace Museum, there plants are Longan and corns ❤️

I’ve done a preliminary pass breaking the clips into identifiable days — as synchronized to my daily #Taiwan travel journal from 1998.

Who knew it was possible to videotape every tree and bush passing outside the window of #AlishanForestRailway as it traveled from #Chiayi to #Alishan?

*yawn*
