8/17 - 4 PM1
The eye of the category 5 typhoon was 320 km (200 miles) off the coast of Taiwan as of 0500 GMT (1 a.m. EDT), packing sustained winds of 184 kph (114 mph) and gusts up to 227 kph (141 mph).2
-----------------------------------------------
As of right now, it is pouring and we can hear loud, ominous thunder. That did not stop Katherine, Yishan, and MattL from going outside to enjoy the rain though.
Taiwan will be smack dab in the center of the typhoon for the next two days. My family was coming to Taipei from Seoul to visit tomorrow, but their flight got cancelled. :(
Several people die during each typhoon from what we hear...please pray for our (EBCT's) safety and also that of the nation.

I thought the typhoons missed the northern end of Taiwan. D: I hope you guys are safe, and that the crazy winds and rain didn't do anything too drastic.
