First Typhoon EVER After Mid October

 Typhoon “Kong-rey” made landfall along the coast of Taiwan’s Taitung County just after 05:00 UTC on Thursday, October 31, 2024, as the strongest typhoon to hit the island since 1996 and the first to hit the country after mid-October. Kong-rey brought wind gusts exceeding 260 km/h (162 mph) and heavy rainfall that claimed at least one life and knocked power out for over half a million homes. Around 500 flights have been canceled, schools and markets have been shut down, and over 8 000 were forced to evacuate their homes.
