[@張致睿]

Incredible footage, James! i am locals live in siaogang kaohsiung for 20 years. thank you for recording true situation for KRATHON.i can not imagine these places i pass every day will face strong typhoon like this one day! take care for other massive storms!

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thank you so much! Comments such as yours, a resident in affected area, I appreciate more than any others. I hope the clean up has been quick and damage light.

What a beautiful Sunday drive the weather is exceptional.

在我家附近欸 我們那一天真的都不敢出門 躲在室內等待颱風過去（其中還經歷了一小時的颱風眼） 佩服你的勇氣

[@AceMoonshot]

Where was the camera placed? There were no wipers and the lens stayed pretty clear. Well, wherever the camera was placed, well done. Thank you.

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks - it's a technique I've used for years now. Suction mount on hood of car with a GoPro, works best when wind is blowing at the camera sweeping the raindrops away

[@AceMoonshot]

@@EarthUncutTV I did notice it was better with the wind at your back. But still, dang good. Thank you.

[@stareyting]

I live in Kaohsiung, and that day I was too scared to step outside. How did you manage to capture such an incredible shot? It’s amazing!

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks for watching - yeah staying inside is the smart thing to do. I've covered close to 90 typhoons over the last 20 years so have a lot of experience in operating in environments like this.

Amazing footage, keep safe!❤

Cannot believe windspeed records in downtown kaohsiung were just on par with that brought by merranti

[@TerryBenzie]

Going out for a drive in that is stupid, cool, and very much appreciated.

[@tysimon]

Coffe ready, found this video FIRST in my feed, excellent start of the day :) EDIT: still watching, some of the gusts are insane, well over 180 kph.

[@EarthUncutTV]

Enjoy palm!!!

10月3號 中午至下午 高雄的風實在太威猛了

[@ldwangkimo3]

Wow Traffic 🚦 and ambulance 🚑 still working!

[@zannda-i2v]

Actually these gusts look on par with those recorded during merranti tbh ive seen plenty of vids of people driving in the middle of merranti in kaohsiung

[@Iloveitaleyns]

Wow 😮😮😮 that storm

[@jasonchan0925]

Better not to wonder around in the streets amid a typhoon, it could be lethal, no kidding.

[@MichaelLyon]

Lovely weather for a drive

[@heavenlydays2838]

Put the car in natural and let the wind push you along.

[@EarthUncutTV]

There were one or two moments where I was just letting the wind do the work

[@rudolfmusicandnocopyright7528]

Amazing Keep safe idol

[@EarthUncutTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@zannda-i2v]

On par with merranti

[@smileskenney]

Is your car very heavy?

[@EarthUncutTV]

Usually heavy enough

[@Andropov1982]

Ignorant question: in a storm like this, what speed can the wind reach?

[@dijek]

Probably 75-90mph sustained winds, with 100+ gusts a possibly more

[@Andropov1982]

@@dijek Damn!! And usually, how many days does this madness of nature last?

[@dijek]

@@Andropov1982 depends on the speed of the storm honestly. fast storms take a day or a night to pass but slow ones can remain over affected areas for days. this one made landfall in southwest Taiwan - which is a rare occurrence since the southwest of the island doesn’t see direct landfalls from cyclones as often as the east side does.

[@Andropov1982]

@@dijek thank you very much for responding! Now I find myself needing to learn more about it haha. ​​greetings dijek

[@dijek]

@@Andropov1982 you’re welcome!

[@timmyh52188]

這樣出門太危險, 下次颱風來你還是待在家吧.

[@HDXFH]

Taipei was spared luckily

[@zannda-i2v]

Hey James, watched vids of merranti in kaohsiung? kzbin.info/www/bejne/goSxdYxjZtqchrcsi=A1UcNDhWArPlT9ap This is one of them
