Haitang

On the news (ie CNN, chink tv too..but then cant understand any of tht stuff can i...) every 15 mins or so...

Typhoon Haitang
Category 5
Winds of upto 250 kmph with gusts of 300+ kmph
expected to hit Taiwan sunday night just south of Taipei...

Blasted damp squib i tell you....i've seen heavier rain in bombay...i've stood in winds which were atleast the same force at the sea shore or on the colonade...BUT....me got a holiday for it...and for that one thanks the rain gods...

But, by the look of images shown on the same chink channels..there seems to have been heavy rain in southern Taiwan...500 odd mm in some place...with flooding and roads being swept way and all the jazz...me would have liked to see that first hand...but that did not happen...

Well theres still time....later...
