The 80 inches of rain figure was for Alishan in Taiwan, which is normally where the most pessimistic numbers come from. The storm was relatively tame by the time it reached China.
Yeah it's a pretty bad situation in parts of the east and mostly in the south here...Northern Taiwan is pretty fine, but I and some people I know are still waiting to hear about some friends/family/acquaintances in the south.
Wasn't a hundred year storm...but a 50-year record for rainfall I think in any event, on a pretty ominous date at that!
Glad to hear things are on schedule.
