Typhoon QiangpiRende DistrictSandbags

Quick Look

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Rende District is located in a low-lying area, with rivers such as Erren Creek, Sanye Creek, and Gangweigou Creek flowing through it. Heavy rains can easily cause flooding. There have been reports of disasters on the roads surrounding the National Highway No. 1 Interchange and the Taiyi Industrial Zone.

The future course of the strong storm "Qiangpi" is still uncertain, but it may bring significant rainfall. In Tainan's Rende District, which has been flooded due to rising water levels in the Sanye River, the office mobilized 3,500 sandbags and began to provide them to the public today to continue to assist in disaster prevention.

Rende District has rivers such as Erren Creek, Sanye Creek, and Gangweigou Creek flowing through it. The relatively low-lying coastline is prone to flooding due to heavy rains. This year, there have been reports of disasters at Zhongshan Road, Zhongzheng Road, and Taiyi Industrial Zone around the National Highway No. 1 Interchange. Qiangpi is approaching, so the public office is cautious and responds with all its strength.

Xu Bosen, the mayor of Rende District, said that although it is already late October, there are still typhoons approaching. Whether Qiangpi will hit Taiwan directly, the path remains to be seen. To prepare for a rainy day, we will urgently dispatch enough sandbags and open them for use today, so that people in need can prepare in advance and take precautions before they happen.

Xu Bosen mentioned that the originally deployed pumping units will also be fully inspected to maintain normal operation, and a certain amount of oil will be prepared and on standby.

Open Questions

  • Will Typhoon Qiangpi finally land in Taiwan?
  • If there is heavy rain, will the supply of sandbags be sufficient?
  • Can the pumping unit continue to operate during a prolonged power outage?

Qiangpi weakened to "Central Taiwan" as it approached Taiwan but was still heavy. The Meteorological Administration estimated that the coast guard would be dispatched as early as tomorrow night.

Typhoon Qiangbi continues to intensify and is expected to turn northward after Thursday, but the angle is uncertain. The impact of rainfall will be most obvious on Friday. Northern Taiwan and mountainous areas need to pay attention to local heavy rain or torrential rain. The Meteorological Administration has forecast that the Coast Guard will be issued as early as late tomorrow night. Depending on the path, a Land Warning may be issued Thursday night.

Japan also defected! Countries are moving northward to avoid landing. The threat from North Taiwan remains unresolved and there is still a 60% invasion rate.

The strong typhoon Qiangbi continues to approach, and forecasts from various countries have revised its path to the north. Japan and South Korea have switched sides and no longer predict landing in Taiwan, while the Meteorological Administration predicts that it will reach the northeast. Although the probability of landfall in the center has decreased, the storm circle has a wide range of influence. The probability of typhoon storm attack in the Jiyihua area of ​​the north is still 50% to 60%, and the highest is 61% in Yilan and Keelung.

Cold air activities are frequent in the north, and the temperature is low in the north. "Qiangpi" moves towards the ocean east of Taiwan

The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that cold air will be more frequent in the next ten days. The temperature in most parts of the north will be lower than the same period of the year. The temperature in northern Xinjiang, western Gansu, Inner Mongolia and other places will be about 3℃ lower. Today and tomorrow, most areas in the central and eastern regions will have a temperature drop of 4 to 6°C, and some areas in western North China and Northeast China will have a drop of more than 8°C. Most areas north of the Yangtze River will be accompanied by northerly winds of magnitude 4 to 6, with gusts of magnitude 7 to 9. In terms of precipitation, there were heavy rains or torrential rains in Jianghuai, Jianghan and other places in the past day, and the rainfall will gradually weaken today and tomorrow. However, there are moderate to heavy rains in parts of the eastern part of Southwest China and northern Jiangnan, and heavy rains in parts of southwestern Guizhou and eastern Yunnan. There is obvious rain and snow in Northeast China, eastern Inner Mongolia and other places, and there is heavy snow in parts of southeastern Heilongjiang and eastern Jilin. It is expected that from the 21st to the 24th, most of Xinjiang will experience strong winds and cooling weather. There will be obvious rain and snow in the northern region. Some high-altitude mountainous areas will have blizzards to heavy snowstorms, and local heavy snowstorms. Typhoon "Qiangpi" was located on the northwest Pacific Ocean at 05:00 on the morning of the 20th, about 1,860 kilometers east-southeast of Taipei City, Taiwan Province. The maximum wind force near the center was above level 17 (62 meters/second, super typhoon level). It is expected to continue to move west-northwest at a speed of 25 to 30 kilometers per hour, gradually approaching the ocean east of Taiwan, with little change in intensity. From the 21st, the wind force in the ocean east of Taiwan, the Taiwan Strait, and the Bashi Strait will gradually increase. At present, its movement path is still highly uncertain. It is necessary to pay close attention to its development dynamics and the subsequent impact of wind and rain on my country's eastern seas and coastal areas.

A close call or a straight shot? Typhoon Qiangbi’s path diverges, experts reveal “critical time point”

Lin Deen, a doctor of atmospheric sciences at National Taiwan University, pointed out that there are obvious differences in the future path of typhoon Qianbi among the numerical forecast models of various countries: some models predict that the typhoon will turn north near Ishigaki Island or Miyako Island, which will have less impact on Taiwan; other models continue to predict that Qianbi may land in Taiwan. He emphasized that around Thursday (22nd) will be an important observation time point to judge the subsequent path, and described the two paths as "edge ball" and "straight ball duel".
