Typhoon Soudelor moved slowly with strong winds toward the island of Taipei, Taiwan bringing heavy rain. Jesse Tam visited Taiwan with friends early spring. The island was under an extremely torrential rain advisory on the northeast side of the island expecting more than 3 feet of rain. Businesses and schools were closed with warnings of strongest storm on the planet so far this year. It will peak with winds at 180 mph (290 kph).
It was expected to make landfall early Saturday local time, sweep across the island and continue toward mainland China. Some train and ferry services were suspended, but flights were continuing to take off and arrive at Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport on Friday afternoon. Taiwan had been hit hard with typhoons and earthquakes in the past. http://jessetam.com/
