TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Sea warnings could be issued Sunday evening at the earliest as Tropical

A road in Southern Taiwan, repaired 10 days after a previous typhoon.

Storm Megi turned into a typhoon and made its way toward Southern Taiwan, the Central Weather Bureau said Saturday.
The storm was likely to envelop all of the island on Tuesday while making landfall in Taitung County, some forecasters said.

Megi, the Korean word for catfish, only just originated in the Pacific near Guam, but weather experts already predict it will turn into one of the three fiercest typhoons of the year.

Just earlier this month, Typhoon Meranti passed close to Southern Taiwan, lashing Taitung, Pingtung, Kaohsiung, Penghu and Kinmen without even making landfall. Only three days later, Typhoon Malakas moved up north along the east coast.     [FULL  STORY]
