Social media posts from Taiwan on Tuesday morning show the winds already intensifying, high waves pounding the coastline, and heavy rain beginning to fall.

The storm is not likely to let up in Taiwan until sometime on Wednesday, due to its unusually expansive size. The storm is larger than typical western Pacific typhoons, which means it will spread its wrath over a wider area, and that its winds are pushing more water -- both in the ocean and in the air -- toward landfall.

Satellite imagery and radar scans show the storm intensifying shortly before landfall, raising the possibility it could hit land as a Category 4 super typhoon.

High winds and heavy rains are affecting Taipei, but the heaviest rainfall is likely in the mountains, where air gets extra lift due to the terrain. The strongest winds from the storm are also likely to just miss Taipei, but because the storm's wind field is so large, the city may experience damaging winds for a time on Tuesday.
