Taiwan’s Typhoon Fury - 130mph Winds And 5ft Of Rain

It packed major hurricane winds that lashed Taiwan for hours and dumped over 1500mm of rain (that's almost 5ft) in the mountains. This was my first cat 3+ to shoot in HD(V) and it left me in awe of the raw power and brutality of a major tropical cyclone. Strap in and let's head deep into the core of 2008's typhoon Sinlaku.

superb, love the retrospective format - hope there'll be many more to come

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks so much! Actually there will be, I’m going through my whole collection and picking out the interesting events, keeping the edits a little simpler so they’re not such hard work, and will fling them up here

[@ChuckD59]

Too short!
Great stuff. Been to Taiwan several times. Just a surreal place in so many ways.

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks for watching! I’ll be uploading some more Taiwan typhoon videos over the coming months. I didn’t have much footage to work with for this one

[@cwb4280]

Awesome content as always James. Hope you continue this style with more.

[@EarthUncutTV]

That’s the plan! Next up typhoon Saola, then Haikui then Koinu (all from last year) then probably some fresh storms to edit. Thanks for watching

[@Severe_WX]

Good content 😃

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks for watching - more to come!

I remember this, at that time watching news about hot spring hotels damaging in 廬山 (Lu Shan) (7:57)
yet, we found out it was not truly rainy until aug. 2009..

[@EarthUncutTV]

I know right, the events of 2009 were insane and tragic. A really rough couple of years for Taiwan.

Don't mind me, just... trying to see what we're in for with Gaemi. >.>

[@ThomasSteffien]

01:50 - also the large difference between sustained windspeed and gusts indicating the power of the system ...

[@EarthUncutTV]

That’s also due to the JMA using a ten minute average for sustained wind versus the 1 minute average that the Americans use

[@raymondsullivan7230]

That happened a while back Raymond Paul Sullivan III me myself and I and him

[@SevereWeatherCenter]
