And notice how the lights are still on...
In the US a cat. 2 hurricane brings armaggedon to the fourth largest city in the country, and in Taiwan, they get hit by a cat. 3 typhoon and it's almost business as usual
Asia rule!
Well, this isn't Taiwan's first typhoon this year. I imagine if you're engineering the electrical distribution grid for a typhoon magnet like Taiwan, it is going to be pretty storm resistant.
I hear people on the radio complaining about how the electric lines aren't underground, but Ike was the first serious hurricane in the HOU metro area since Alicia in 1983, and cost/benefit analysis probably suggests that the low risk of hurricanes doesn't justify the expense of a hurricane resistant power grid.
