Typhoon Dujuan nears Taiwan

Typhoon Dujuan is nearing Taiwan. It is close to super typhoon status.  It may hit land at Ishigaki Jima.  The winds should be around 252 mph.  Luckily the structures on this Island are built to withstand winds like this and have withstood typhoons like this before. Northeast Taiwan will get the worst of the storm with the high winds flooding and landslides.

I wondered what the main difference was between a hurricane and a typhoon is and the difference is what side of the international dateline it is on http://thevane.gawker.com/what-is-the-difference-between-a-cyclone-typhoon-and-1617803648
