Just when people were rejoicing that the summer typhoon season was over, two autumn typhoons, Zeb and Babs, struck in October. Their peripheral winds and rains gave northern areas a bitter dose of flooding. Worst hit were the people of Hsichih in Taipei County, whose homes were inundated twice in ten days.
而正當人們慶幸夏季已過，十月份的兩個秋台﹘﹘瑞伯和芭比絲，輕掃裙擺，讓北部地區也飽嘗淹水之苦，其中以台北縣汐止鎮災情最為嚴重，短短十天內兩次颱風，讓汐止上萬民宅二度泡水。
