The force of Typhoon Podul in Tainan is unreal — 224 km/h winds can rip apart almost anything.
Seeing entire streets in Taiwan turn into rivers is heartbreaking, especially knowing people are trapped.
At 3:15 the footage of the roof flying off a building is something I’ll never forget.
I hope everyone in Tainan was able to evacuate before the worst of the typhoon hit.
Typhoon Podul shows how vulnerable even well-built cities can be against nature’s fury.
That shot of the palm trees bending like they were made of rubber was insane.
Do typhoons this strong usually hit Tainan, or is this one especially rare?
Watching rescue crews fight both wind and water at the same time is pure bravery.
The sound of those winds in the video gave me goosebumps — so loud it drowns everything else out.
It’s amazing that some people still try to ride out storms like this instead of evacuating.
The flooding combined with debris makes the streets in Taiwan look like dangerous rivers.
Even cars and buses are no match for the power of Typhoon Podul.
The waves crashing over the seawall at 5:20 are straight out of a disaster movie.
I wonder how much damage this will cause to Taiwan’s agriculture and coastal industries.
Seeing buildings collapse in real time is terrifying — it happens so fast.
This footage should be shown as a warning for why storm preparation is critical.
Typhoon Podul’s winds look like they could pick up anything not bolted down.
The resilience of the Taiwanese people in disasters like this is always inspiring.
Do storms in Taiwan usually cause this level of flooding, or was this a perfect storm scenario?
I hope aid reaches Tainan quickly — the rebuilding process is going to be huge.
The moment the street signs were ripped out of the ground shows how powerful 224 km/h winds really are.
I’ve been in a hurricane before, but seeing this makes me realize how extreme typhoons can get.
The night footage during the storm is even scarier — just black skies and howling wind.
This storm is a reminder that climate change is making extreme weather more dangerous.
That aerial shot after the typhoon passed looks like a completely different city.
I’m praying for the people of Tainan and all of Taiwan during this recovery.
Do typhoons often cause landslides in southern Taiwan after heavy rain like this?
Even concrete walls don’t stand a chance against wind and water combined.
It’s scary how quickly streets went from dry to waist-deep water in minutes.
The clean-up after this is going to take weeks, if not months.
It’s wild to think that Podul brought winds faster than most cars drive on the highway.
I can’t believe the footage of people walking outside during the typhoon — that’s beyond risky.
The scenes of neighbors helping each other despite the chaos are really moving.
Taiwan always seems to bounce back stronger, but this one looks like a tough challenge.
Nature’s power is breathtaking, but Typhoon Podul shows just how dangerous it can be.
