Super typhoon Jangmi, the strongest Pacific storm in 13 years smashed Taiwan on 28th September 2008. I travelled to Hualien to cover the huge storm surge and battering waves.

  • usually about 10 - 15ft high made of rebar and concrete, some with holes bored in, not sure about that particular wall though :) Wonder where rambocam was. Odd he didn't make it.

    Was that you on the beach? that's... pretty.. brave hehe.

    I got some ok vid from Yilan. It was wild.

  • That wasn't me on the beach, telephoto lens means I can watch the mayhem from a safe distance. Having a person in the shot gave it fantastic perspective though. Rambocam had commitments on at the time hence his absence.

  • That was amazing James! I thought the still images on your site were wild, this is beyond. Interested to know - that wall they are coming over, what is height, and did it flood from surges or just from bands coming across? What are the walls made out of, do you know by chance?

  • Those walls are tough as hell built to sustain the worst the Pacific can throw at them. It's doesn't get much more extreme than what Jangmi had to offer!

  • unbelievable .....

  • brave photographers, thumbs up if you wouldn't stand there for a second

  • looks like some good wind surfing weather to me

  • the super long lens distorts the reality of the scene quite a bit, so you don't know what it was like there from this. It does make the guys in front of the waves footage amazing looking, but that largely because of the camera/lens.. I wish I was there!! Love bad weather!

  • fortunately for the lives of the photographers, the wind was blowing away from them.

  • Those waves would injure Superman !!!!!

  • Typhoon vamei hit Singapore in 2001

  • COWABUNGA DUDES, SURF'S FUCKIN UP!

  • the guy was so funny

  • WOw ! If this were to happen in singapore , I tell you ! Singapore would be gone !
