Powerful typhoon!. Are there any reports thus far of damage? As Cycloneeye notes in his post, landfall will occur soon, i have not been able to find any surge estimates, I wonder what the storm surge has, or will occur?

KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan — The largest typhoon to hit Taiwan in 30 years has made landfall in the country’s southeast, bringing heavy rain and power cuts and prompting mass evacuations.

Typhoon Kong-rey arrived at 1:40 p.m. local time in Taitung, according to Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration. At one point a super typhoon, Kong-rey weakened slightly overnight but was still equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. With a storm radius of nearly 200 miles — spanning almost the length of Taiwan — Kong-rey is sweeping east to west, with its effects to be felt across the whole island.

Got some valuable buoy data for Kong-rey a few days ago. On Oct 29 at 19Z, drifting buoy "5201803" recorded a min SLP of 933.2 mb inside the eye!
