🌀 Typhoon Podul, the 11th typhoon of the season, finally made landfall in the Taiwan region around 1 p.m. on Wednesday. With heavy rain and strong gusts, the storm slammed into the island’s western coast, a bustling stretch home to millions of residents.
🌧️ Forecasters warn that Podul isn’t slowing down. After drenching Taiwan’s densely populated shoreline, it’s set to cross the Taiwan Strait and head straight for the southern Fujian Province in the Chinese mainland. Coastal communities there should brace for intense rain and wind in the coming hours.
✈️ Travelers and locals alike are urged to stay updated as flight schedules and ferry services may be disrupted. While we ride out Podul’s power, remember to secure loose items, avoid flooded areas, and follow guidance from Taiwan authorities.
Stay tuned for more updates and tips to weather the storm safely! 🌊
