Eyewitness footage from the island on Wednesday showed knocked over scooters lying on a rain-soaked street and grass swaying violently in the wind.
Reuters was able to independently verify the location of the video by the building exterior, structure and utility pole which matched file and satellite images. Reuters was able to verify the date of the footage from the original file metadata.
Typhoon Podul hit Taiwan's sparsely populated southeast coast on Wednesday, packing winds of up to 191 kph (118 mph), as a large swathe of southern and eastern parts of the island shut down and hundreds of flights were cancelled.
Taiwan is regularly hit by typhoons, generally along its mountainous east coast facing the Pacific.

Mostly sunny, muggy, just a stray chance of thundershower in the Philadelphia region Saturday
The weekend will dry out for the most part and temperatures will remain near 90°. If you are someone who enjoys the hot, humid summer days, then we encourage you to make your plans and soak in these conditions. Labor Day weekend is only two weeks away, meaning weekends like the one upcoming will be few and far between from here on out. Because the air will be swampy, there will be a chance for pop-up showers and storms, but the overall chance is relatively low. Think "summer storms"… if you hear thunder, head inside for 15 minutes and it should pass. The biggest potential threats are lightning and locally heavy rain. Of course, fall is right around the corner and that's awesome, but not the best for enjoying the pool, water parks, beaches, etc. Sunday may likely be the hottest day with temps in the mid low-90s, but there's no sign of any extended streaks of extreme heat. Your NEXT Weather team continues to closely monitor Erin, which is now a hurricane, forecast to become a Major Category 4 as we roll into next week. This will likely cause rough surf and riptide dangers along the Jersey shore and Delaware beaches come mid-late next week. Your NEXT Weather team will continue to update as the storm gets closer. Saturday: Sun, stray shower. High 88, Low 72 Sunday: Sun, stray shower. High 91, Low 70 Monday: Mostly cloudy. High 80, Low 72 Tuesday: Partly sunny. High 81, Low 67 Wednesday: Partly sunny. High 79, Low 67 Thursday: Partly sunny. High 79, Low 67 Friday: Partly sunny. High 83, Low 65 NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast

Monsoon moisture brings scattered rain chances over the next 24 hours
SALT LAKE CITY () — Happy Friday, Utah! Scattered clouds and showers will be on the uptick around the Beehive state for our Friday afternoon. The best concentration of shower activity will be for areas east of I-15. Gusty 'outflow' winds and very dry air will combine to lead to an elevated fire danger for most of northern and western Utah. High temperatures will warm into the mid 90s for the Wasatch Front, and highs will climb near 100 for SW Utah. Friday will hold the best chance for seeing pockets of heavier rainfall for areas south of I-70. We do have marginal risk for isolated flash flooding from our southern Utah recreating spots. Temperatures may begin to cool slightly back into the mid 90s across northern Utah, and near 100 for SW Utah through the upcoming weekend. The isolated storm chance will extend into our Saturday, but we should be mainly dry for our Sunday. The typical high pressure, heat dome rebuilds across Utah moving into next week. This will mean plenty of sunshine for most of the week along with temperatures warming back well above average. Highs will likely be around 100 for the Wasatch Front and 105+ again for SW Utah by late-next week.

Eastern Canada cooldown to flip from heat waves to hints of fall
It's been a long, hot summer across Eastern Canada. Are you ready for a much-deserved cooldown? A pattern flip on the horizon promises to send hints of fall sweeping across much of Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada over the next two weeks. Not only will conditions cool off enough to open those windows, but some communities may even see low temperatures dip into the single digits. DON'T MISS: Heat slips to hints of fall to round out August It's been a warm and muggy season so far across much of the region. Many cities across Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada have seen 10-20+ days at or above 30°C so far this year. As of the middle of August, Windsor has seen 28 days with high temperatures at or above 30 degrees. The count stands at 23 days in Toronto, 21 days in Ottawa, and an impressive tally of 5 days at or above 30°C over in St. John's. Many areas in Ontario and Quebec will add to that count this weekend, but a change is on the way by next week. RELATED: A hint of fall will push into northern Ontario on Sunday as high temperatures drop into the middle to upper teens. Some parts of the region could see overnight lows drop into the single digits. Comfortable air will spread into eastern Ontario and southern Quebec as temperatures here will only reach the lower 20s. Readings north of Ottawa and Montreal will struggle to even hit the 20-degree mark. Communities outside the cities and their suburbs could easily see Monday morning lows in the single digits. Folks across Atlantic Canada will see much cooler conditions dominate next week, with temperatures several degrees below seasonal for several days. A brief warmup will arrive the following weekend before a more widespread cooldown arrives. A strong cold front is expected to track across most of Eastern Canada, bringing a few days of much cooler temperatures for the final week of August. The comfortable, fall-like air may easily reach into southern Ontario and beyond well south of the border. Header image created using graphics and imagery from Canva.
