Typhoon Megi, an unusually large storm, is about to wrap the entirety of Taiwan within its swirling winds, high waves and flooding rains.*
The storm, which was packing maximum sustained winds of 115 miles per hour as of Monday evening eastern time, was poised to make landfall along Taiwan's east-central coast on mid-to-late after**on Tuesday, local time. This makes it a Category 3-equivalent storm.

The storm is the fifth to make landfall in Taiwan (or come close e**ugh to affect the island) *so far this year.*
