Re: WPAC: Typhoon KROSA (0715) near Taiwan
BTW, it's important to note that the NRL images are currently misgridded and show the storm to be at least 2 degrees of latitude further north than it really is to be sure you check them before posting.

winds are sustained near 75 mph gusts towards 85 - 90 mph (however this is on the 10th floor). the building is actually vibrating and the power is fluctuating. the last radar image shows the eye might pass directly over taipei city or we will be just south of it in the eyewall.
god i hope my windows dont pop in they are vibrating like hell right now.
looks like the taiwan weather centre website has stopped updating could be a sign of how bad this storm is getting.

the eye is about to come on shore.
here in taipei the wind gusts are starting to reach category 2 strenght, the pressure is dropping rapidly and my ears are starting to pop. debris is starting to fly around in large numbers.
to my surprise people are still out and about walking and shopping, none of the signs on the building or the advertisements have been taken down there is still a fair amount of traffic on the road.

Re: WPAC: Typhoon KROSA (0715) near Taiwan
From the wind directions, it appears that the center is passing south of the RCTP airport which means that the winds will stay up for a while as they have a very short overland trajectory and aren't being blocked by the high mountains of the interior. Our chasers seem to have hit the storm jackpot and hopefully will not come up three lemons on the safety aspect.

Re: WPAC: Typhoon KROSA (0715) near Taiwan
Update from Stu - Recorded 104mph from the car standing just North of the eye in a small fishing hamlet I can not pronounce. A serious lack of data meant that we did not penetrate the eye and gave up. However Shock news - the eye never made it fully on land !!! and is now back out to sea after turning South East- we are getting ready to chase it again if it makes landfall second time - don't belive me - look at the radar loop.

Thankfully I can report minimal damage to the communites along the coast - a few flmsy roofs down and snapped porer lines - many rivers in full spate however.
