Typhoon Soulik

Typhoons that come over Taiwan seem to do a lot of damage to the south and simmer down to tropical storm level before they hit Taipei. Typhoon Soulik simmered down to a category 2 typhoon. We went out to Jiaoxi and Su-ao to film the Typhoon Soulik passing over.

Emergency evacuation procedures were implemented.  Roads and bridges that were likely to get damaged were closed and fishing boats returned to the shore before the typhoon arrived. Five thousand residents in the South were taken to shelters.
