Typhoon Gaemi makes landfall in Taiwan https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crg41eg517vo

Typhoon Gaemi has made landfall on Taiwan’s east coast, bringing gusts of around 240kmh (150mph).
Gaemi, which has landed near the city of Hualien, is expected to be the most powerful storm to hit the island in eight years.

Ah, that explains it then. We were supposed to be out of range here in the south, the typhoon was headed for the northern tip of #Taiwan. But with Hualian it hits dead centre. The whole day we had rain and pretty strong wind, strong enough to cause three power outages so far.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better...
