Super Typhoon hui lai

Super typhoon Krosa seems to be heading directly for Taipei. You can follow the typhoon here at tropical storm risk (TSR) and the Central Weather Bureau.
Satellite pictures from here.
Wind gusts to 170 km/h.
We are ready. Mum has filled the bath with water, in case the electricity goes off and the water pump does not work. We bought some bottled water, bread, fruit and eggs. The gas bottle is full. Hanging plants and washing brought in. She bought a lighter in case we need to use candles.
We really have nothing to worry about. We don't have a car or scooter, business, or live in the mountains or the bottom floor in a flood-prone area.
