Typhoon Jangmi

Typhoon Jangmi is about to nail Taiwan. I know Pacific Storms get no coverage whatsoever in the US, so I thought I'd call attention to it. Currently it's on the border of a category 4 or 5 storm; winds at 155 with gusts to 190. Its appearance on satellite is as flawless as Hurricane Andrew was. The current computer model shows that the storm might do a funny U-turn and hit Japan, but that it would be a tropical depression by that point. Meanwhile, Taiwan is about to get smashed, and I doubt too many people in the US will hear a single thing about it.
