The typhoon is stalled along our coast, gathering strength from the Pacific ocean. We're stuck in the leading edge while high winds and rain bands threaten us with impending doom. Tension is high because several years ago, another typhoon did the same thing, same track, stalled, etc. and it killed a lot of people. All we can do is sit and wait until it strikes.....

Update: 22:00 - fortunately this typhoon petered out and didn't do much to the West coast of Taiwan. However, the East coast got clobbered.
