hours before typhoon sepat


the sky was just beautiful and as blue as it could get with barely any clouds around

unfortunately i didn't have a camera with me to take pictures but you can get an idea here, courtesy of carrie

later on the day, you could just see these huge grey clouds starting to move in and slowly blanket the sky

it was a pretty cool sight... half the sky was blue while the other half was covered in storm-like clouds

finally got a hold of a camera so i tried to take a video but it was a little bit too late

the sky was almost completely covered by clouds already but you can still somewhat see the sun and clear sky in the distance



the wind was starting to pick up pretty good too which you can obviously hear in the video

video taken outside my work in tucheng

sorry, not the best video but you can get a slight idea

The skies are just wicked right now. I've been glued to my window. It's amazing. Yesterday morning, we were graced with clear blue skies and an amazing rainbow which dissapated as soon as I found my camera. Within minutes, the entire cityscape was shrouded in mist. Even when it's ugly out, Taiwan is still so beautiful! I hope you're able to get some good pictures. Stay safe this weekend!
