(United Morning Post) The strong typhoon "Moranti" on the 14th is approaching from the Pacific Ocean to the southern coast of Taiwan at a speed of 21 kilometers per hour. Several southern counties and cities in Taiwan and Taitung counties in the eastern part of Taiwan announced that classes and classes will be suspended tomorrow (14th).
According to BBC Chinese, the center of this typhoon with a radius of 200 kilometers of level 7 storm has entered the Bashi Strait (between Taiwan and the Philippines), and the southern part of Taiwan is expected to enter the storm radius tomorrow (14th).
Mountainous areas in eastern Taiwan, such as Yilan, Hualien, Taitung and Pingtung in the south, are on guard against disasters such as soil and rock flow.
Taiwan's meteorological and disaster prevention departments call on the public not to relax their vigilance because the typhoon center will not land, and pointed out that the typhoon has a "solid structure" and should not be careless.
Although the impact of Typhoon Moranti on Taiwan is expected to gradually weaken on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival (15th), due to the previous cancellation of train, high-speed rail flights and cancelled airline flights, it has increased the difficulty for people to return home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with their families.
Although it is expected that Taiwan will be out of the storm on the Mid-Autumn Festival, due to the influence of external circulation, Taiwanese people may not be able to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
The typhoon was located southward, not passing through Taiwan’s central mountain range, and the storm range and center were mostly at sea. Therefore, some experts are worried that the power of Typhoon Moranti will continue to increase after passing through Taiwan.
According to the current path of the typhoon, it will hit northern Guangdong and southern Fujian next, and the peripheral circulation will also bring heavy rain to Hong Kong and southern Guangdong.
Taiwan's Central Meteorological Bureau also said that two typhoons are taking shape in the Pacific, and it may also pose a threat to Taiwan in the future.
