Jurisdictions across southern Taiwan, including Nantou, Chiayi, Tainan, and Kaohsiung, all reached accumulations in excess of 1000 mm, which is the equivalent of five months of average rainfall coming down in just three days. Such a volume could not drain off quickly enough, causing flooding everywhere. In the mountains there were landslides, subsidence, and even collapses of houses. More than ten people were buried alive.
包括嘉義、南投、台南到高雄等地區，累積降雨量都超過 1,000 毫米，等於在 3 天內灌進相當於 5 個月的台灣平均雨量，一時之間積水難洩，造成中南部到處淹水、潰堤；山區土石橫流、地基流失、房屋倒塌、地下室進水，十多人遭到活埋、車輛毀損不計其數。
