The Taiwan Weather Thread 2017

I’m way lower than you, oh oh.

Groot: I am Groot!
ME: Stop calling me a raboon!
Groot: I am Groot!
ME: OK, RacCOON, whatever, just cut it out already!

Better put your wetsuit on.

Is it over?

BTW, Songshan airport closed down for a bit there, and Taoyuan got flooded…again…

It’s down to a drizzle here at Xinyi-Fuxing.

Zhongshan MRT area is drizzles at 1:30PM. Was pretty heavy at 1230PM.

Worst may be over.

They closed the riverside flood gates waaaaaay too late @ 1PM.

I can see the sky. The blue part. That is why I am asking.

Awful footage on TV. Someone must have got hurt.

In my pal’s building, the guanli ren -guard?- trie dto fix something so water wouldn’t flow the yard. He fell, broke his arm and ended up in the hospital.

The weatherman says there’s gonna be another huge rain dump later on today.

Is it the same one that said it was 100% chance of rain Wednesday and Thursday too?

Looks like it will be calm for a bit and probably come down hard when we get out of work.

Looks more rain base from that photo.

Anyway, i’m sleepy with this type of weather.:sleepy:

3 schools were closed down in Taipei City. The rest, as per their words, “are free to decide on their own”.

Parking allowed on red zones.

And that Anna Nicole married for love???

One kid drowned.

EDIT:
Appears to have survived. But very traumatic rescue, parents see the news with caution.

are you serious???
that’s horrible

I can’t find the source, but I’m hearing the same about someone drowning in Keelung.

Where and how?

Keelung. A girl, 10 year old student, fell in the water, unconscious. Some sources say she is in a comma, some that she awoke at the hospital. This one says both.

jesus80 what do you ride? MTB?

I used to ride MTB in my country. Here it doesn’t make much sense so I ride* road bike

ride* -> I wish… rain, other hobbies and a stupid injury keep me off the saddle more than what I’d like :frowning:
