2015 was pretty nuts, let’s not do that again.
It seems like the last time Taipei was this bad was 2015.
A lot of “fake”, or should I say, outdated images were rolling around LINE groups last Fridaythat were from that year. News such as a few MRT lines closing due to flooding at different ends of the line and the Xinchuang/Banqiao riverside area flooded almost up to the brim.
RIP Invest 97
A sad update. Invest W97, after trying as hard as he could to survive, has lost his battle. The tropical cyclone warning has been cancelled.
RIP W97 (2017, 2017)
It will have a long holiday in Japan!
Looks like it will be one of the tiniest typhoons in year (IF it becomes a typhoon, currently only ranked as a sever tropical storm, though it may change).
Anyway, little to no impact for Taiwan#1. For Okinawa and friends it may be a pita because it will pass by there then curve back to the North-East, giving them extra time under rain and wind.
Dear Ibis,
I know you love posting these moving images. It’d be awesome if you could ADD SOME COMMENTARY INDICATING WHY YOU THINK THESE IMAGES ARE WORTHY OF OUR ATTENTION.
Otherwise, when I see these images, I’m afraid I can only think of the last three letters of your moniker.
Best regards,
Guy
That sounds like a lot of work, though…
For me, it’s a thankful reminder to go check my own sources…
I try to post anything that forms around the usual spot and/or that appears to be headed in our direction. W94 will bother Hong Kong so I didn’t even mention it.
Most of my messages would have to be a copy/paste like:“THERE’S SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON…but it’s too early to tell if it will become a typhoon, if it will disappear, if it will impact Taiwan, etc etc”.
Consider my messages as a very, VERY early warning system!
No easy baskets.
That’s like…stealing your enemies sword and using it against him.
