According to the Ministry of the Interior's disaster relief team, when medium-sized Typhoon Winnie swept through northern Taiwan on August 18th, it killed 44 people and injured 84, making it a close rival to July 1996's super Typhoon Herb.
中度颱風溫妮十八日匆匆地掠過台灣北部後，根據內政部災害搶救組的統計，造成四十四人死亡，八十四人輕重傷，災情直逼去年七月底強烈颱風賀伯的威力。
