While most of you are snuggled warm in your New England homes, enjoying the autumn foliage, Taiwan was blasted this weekend by a Category 5 Super Typhoon. With sustained winds of 115 mph and gusts at over 250 mph, a radius dwarfing the entire country, deadly landslides serving as the inevitable consequences, and 50 inches of rain in some parts of the city, this beast wrought havoc and disaster to this tiny island. And with the eye passing right over Taipei, I saw the worst of it. Sorry to say, it isn't over yet.
