A fully-developped typhoon maybe, but even a tropical storm? Also, I suppose that's only for the very small region near the center, which FLTs can easily bypass, right?

I use to term to describe all strengths of tropical storms - up to the category 5 hurricane/super-typhoon.

I think "tropical cyclone" is the better term that includes both tropical depressions, tropical storms, and typhoons / hurricanes, as well as cyclones.

Had a planned trip to Taipei on Sunday but not sure how likely flights are to be going ahead HKG-TPE (or maybe they can track around it?).
