On the 8th July 2016 typhoon Nepartak crashed into the city of Taitung in south east Taiwan with an estimated intensity of 110kts (1 min average) / 90kts (10 min average) - a category 3 storm. However the violent winds, damage and comparing it to other storm's I've chased, I'm firmly convinced the true landfall intensity was much stronger.

I hope you enjoyed the video and please feel free to share your opinions on this storm below. I'm not one to exaggerate or even try to estimate wind speeds by eyeball, it's an impossible task. But comparing Nepartak to all the other category 3 and 4 storms I've filmed I'm convinced the 110kts (1 min) / 90kts (10 min) landfall intensity estimate is incorrect. Cheers!!
I was there. I have been in many typhoons in Taiwan but this was something else.
You cannot tell me these winds are less than Hurricane Ian. It is lucky that storm surge wasn't a huge problem or that storm would be horrific.
Thankfully storm surge isn't an issue in Taiwan, fresh water flooding on the other hand is terrifying!
I would honestly say those are category 5 winds being recorded. Those gusts like the one flipping the vehicle are easily in the cat 5 range. I think the peak intensity of nepartak was underestimated and the weakening overestimated. Would be cool to see an experiment done on the same model of car seen flipping to get the windspeed
My same thought Cat 5.. So incredible & scary😧
The recorded landfall pressure for Nepartak was 911.5 hpa, I think at least that could correspond to a cat 4
Wow!! Excellent Video and story telling, James. I agree with you, the footage shows a Category 4.
Thanks so much for watching David and glad you enjoyed the video!
Glad to see you upload the long footage video, I saw some shorter on News and your twitter before, but after watched this video, I realized how strong of that typhoon in 2016.
Thanks for watching - I'm going to be reworking old storms and releasing videos during quieter periods - lots to work on!
Well done James! As always, your video and narration are top notch!
Thanks so much Lucinda, I really appreciate that!
With winds like that, the glass shards are like bullets!
Thanks! I remember that one. Great coverage by you at the time.
Thanks so much Paul - this one was a real brute. I suspect the typhoons will return to Taiwan next year after taking a break for quite a few years
Amazing! can't go there but you could let us see the typhoon so closely all the time!
Thanks for watching!!
Absolutely superb, professional and objective analysis!
Thanks so much Palm - glad you enjoyed this one!
Pretty sure it was a CAT 4, it was the scariest typhoon/hurricane I have ever been in. Where I live in the UK, we usually have ex-Hurricanes that are basically hurricane strength winds that batter our coasts. But I was in Taiwan when Nepartak hit, I was in Kaosiung and later in Tainan, we took the HSR to get back before the storm got too close. it was pants-shittingly-terrifying. Great vid btw!
Incredible story and footage. Thank you for sharing once again.
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the narration, some really good clips, and looked a tense one.
Thanks so much Stuart, much appreciated!
Wow! Absolutely fantastic film, James. That was one strong cat 3! Maybe one day your footage will contribute to the reanalysis of the strength of this typhoon.
Thanks so much Lois - wish we had more ground observations during this one!
Now seeing this amazing footage and incredible wind speed awesome work.
Thanks for watching!!
Amazing job documenting this storm James. Armed with your data, as well as others, maybe one day they can analyze this storm and reclassify it. Because it definitely was stronger than a Cat3 based on your video . Possibly a high end Cat4. From my experiences watching storm videos, a Cat3 doesn’t flip Autos around!! Can they? Sure but that was a very strong sustained wind. Anyways, thanks for posting it and I’ll look forward to your next one.
Thanks as always!! Yeah the cars flipped entirely is something I’ve not seen very often, and never in a cat 3 (those tiny lil Japanese cars don’t count ;)
@@EarthUncutTV Irma east of Naples did flip some vehicles, I saw that as that's where I lived at the time.
Also Wilma in Miami Beach area (Cat 2) did as well.
Possibly mesovorteces?
Wow! At minute 3 the cars are moving...
Yes I'd say it was a strong cat 4 with winds gusting to 155 mph
All that is holly!! Man, I envy your tungsten balls. Thank you for your courage and determination to deliver us these incredible videos. Please take care. Cheers.
Haha thanks so much! Lots more content to come 😎
bro 👍👏thanks your video
Thanks for watching!
good job my friend
Thanks as always Alain
The peak intensity was also most likely underestimated by atleast 15 mph
Maybe this was not a Cat-3 but a “Cat-Beast”, sorry 😅… Totally agreed that 125mph is a bit of an underestimate! As if the winds depicted on video weren’t enough, the morning after devastation is even more telling. Just awesome stuff as usual, James!
Jose!! Thanks so much my friend and I appreciate your input all the more given the beats your seen first hand, like Maria. I hope you and your family are all well
@@EarthUncutTV thank you so much, James! We are doing fine, hope you and your family as doing well, too. Yeah this hit appears to be on that “epic” scale. I’m glad that you and Jason were able to intercept this top-notch beast!
This was basically your version of Josh Morgerman/Icyclone's Hurricane Odile footage
Ha yes there are parallels
Wow! That is just incredibly strong winds. Love your storytelling. Glad you are safe.
Thank you so much, really appreciated! I intend to make more of these types of video
My landfall analysis: 210km/h(10 min) 915mb T6.5/7.0, a high end cat4 super typhoon, near cat5
It certainly appears to h
Ave been more like a storm with sustained winds of 140-150 mph easily a category 4 in my opinion. What was the lowest pressure reading?
I believe it was in the 950s in Taitung with the eye passing to the south
@@EarthUncutTV Interesting, but either way impressive and great footage, I really enjoy all of the footage you have created, always excellent quality you do not otherwise have a chance to witness unless you are physically present.
@@alexwhite3158thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
How is there power still on
Pretty wild right?
Taiwan has one of the best infrasturcture on the planet, it's reasonable that the light was on
hi Jamas you are so talented natural phenomena like this storm it's very dangerous that people like you risk being in the center of the storm to film these realistic scenes. How long will it take you to edit Vietnam's storm Noru vlog? please make a vlog of mangkhut storm, the scene is quite good.
Thank you so much for watching. I’m not sure if I’ll edit a Noru vlog I’m afraid since the storm was weak, hit at night and I didn’t get much footage. Mangkhut is a great idea though!
@@EarthUncutTV The video of storm noru hitting Da Nang is a bit weak, but your footage is very beautiful, you can edit the video of storm noru with full footage. and your super typhoon mangkhut the footage is so intense it's a category 5 storm with very good footage. you edit it into a mangkhut storm vlog. thank you
No way this was "only" 125 mph
My thoughts exactly!
Ohhhh the drama! 😏
Pretty robust electrical grid.
Amazingly tough!
it shows that the official analysis can always be wrong and underestimated. JTWC underestimates everything on the planet and JMA even worse!!!
Nepartak should’ve been retired but got reused in 2021
We bangladeshi face
Cat 5:1991 bangladesh cyclone
1994 bangladesh super cyclone
2007 super cyclone sidr
1737 hoogly river cyclone
Cat 4 Bhola cyclone
Cat5 amphan
Cyclone mora mohashen sitrang etc
all classic monsters
& that was OVER a cat5, calling that a 3,is an insult.
Shout out to Taiwan power,for keeping the power on,for as long as it did ⚡🌀🌩️
