Nari is the first typhoon ever known to have crossed Taiwan from northeast to southwest from near Okinawa. The eye of the storm remained over Taiwan for almost 50 hours-ten times as long as most typhoons, which stay over land only four to five hours. Even senior meteorologists were astounded. It seems that all of us, from schoolchildren up, will need to revise our notions about the weather.
行徑怪異的納莉，是西北太平洋首度從琉球海域自東北向西南貫穿台灣的颱風，中心在台灣陸地停留近五十小時，是一般颱風四至五小時的十倍之久，連研究氣象四十年的專家都跌破眼鏡，未來恐怕從學校開始，都得對天象重新作一番認識與教育。
