UPDATE: Sept. 27,Han Yi-seul-I (한이슬) Archives 2016, 5:18 p.m. EDT Typhoon Megi has killed at least four people and injured upwards of 250, according to the Associated Press. The storm lashed Taipei with tropical storm force winds for 14 straight hours, with a peak wind gust just shy of 100 miles per hour.
An intensifying, Category 4 Typhoon Megi barreled into Taiwan early Tuesday morning eastern time, spreading its destructive power across the entire typhoon-weary island. Social media posts from Taiwan reveal that the island took a beating from this unusually large storm, with damaging winds spreading across the entire north-to-south length of the island.
Strong winds buffeted the capital of Taipei, with wind gusts reaching at least 63 miles per hour at the city's international airport despite the fact that the center of the storm made landfall about 100 miles to the south of the city, in Haulien.
At least a foot of rain had fallen in some of the island's higher elevations, with more still to come on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, local time.
Storm chasers Josh Morgerman and James Reynolds are both in Taiwan and took some impressive videos of the storm's wrath, as well as the eerie calm within the eye.

Typhoon Megi is the fifth such storm to affect Taiwan this year, and it is moving toward an area of mainland China that has repeatedly been flooded due to previous storms.
The storm comes just two weeks after Super Typhoon Meranti, the strongest storm on Earth this year, narrowly averted landfall in southern Taiwan.
Still, at least 600,000 homes were left without water or power due to Meranti.
