Typhoon Krosa spent the weekend beating up on Taiwan, paying special attention to the northern half, where I live. Sustained winds of 185km/h (115mph) caused extensive damage to trees and street signs, and torrential rains have spawned flooding and mudslides. Here’s a detailed report from the Taipei Times.
Krosa thankfully has now turned it’s attention to China.

Here are some pictures of the damage in Hsinchu (click the pictures or the captions for a larger version):

Downed phone cable, outside the front door to my church.

Krosa vs tree & car. Krosa = 2, Tree & Car = 0
