What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn Taiwan today, authorities issued a land warning for Typhoon Champi and cancelled one hundred twenty-five flights, mostly domestic, as a storm with a three hundred twenty kilometre radius approaches.

  2. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThree hundred twenty kilometres covers most of the island, so calling it a brush past is generous.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNearly one metre of rain is forecast for the hills near Taipei, and the impact could last almost two days. That is a long brush.
