    1. It's been a long time since such a big storm made a landfall here.

    1. If it passes very slowly, and even stops at Kaohsiung and the Tainan areas, it could lengthen its damage on Kaohsiung.
    2. Looking at surveillance cameras we can see there are a lot of people out riding scooters under such strong wind and rain, which is really very dangerous.

    1. We are being hit by the eyewall now and will enter the eye soon.
