That was kind of an odd call on their part but I guess it was "grasping at straws time" by then with this on lurking:

Taiwan has 12000 foot mountains right on the coast. That wind tunnel effect in the valleys will be something. Not to mention the flash flooding.

Those 12000 foot mountains will also decimate the storm quite quickly and help at least some with the severity.

The center is still 9+ hours from landfall and there are areas that have already seen 12 inches of rain. Amazing rainfall with these systems!

Just WOW!

Yeah, pretty impressive and it's getting a lot of coverage since there is nothing else going on. Good thing they are used to getting hit
