Typhoon Soudelor: Along The Monster Storm’s Path

August 7, 2015 By Ellen Smith

Soudelor has sustained winds of 126 mph — the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane. The storm is expected to strengthen a little more today. If it reaches 130 mph, it will be considered a category 4 when it hits land.

What’s the potential damage?

The Taiwanese capital of Taipei could be vulnerable to the storm’s strong winds.

Taipei has a population of 2.6 million and features a cityscape of tall buildings and skyscrapers.

But the real threat comes from the rain. When Soudelor slams into the mountain range that spans most of Taiwan, massive amounts of rain could cause substantial flooding and mudslides.

Soudelor is expected to be stronger than Taiwan’s deadliest storm, Typhoon Morakot, in 2009. The rain and mudslides from Morakot led to over 450 deaths.
