Typhoon Krosa: Update
Typhoon Krosa pounded northern Taiwan with powerful winds and torrential rains, injuring at least three people, forcing shops and offices to close and disrupting air and road travel.

With a radius of 300 kilometres, Krosa has winds gusting up to 184 kilometres per hour ((115 mph with gusts up to 140 mph).

Ahead of the storm on the Chinese mainland,

...two provinces have evacuated more than 730,000 people ahead of the buffeting of the powerful typhoon.
It amazes me that China can evacuate so many people. In the last typhoon, they evacuated over 2 Million. I am also in awe of the wind speed in these freaks of nature. Imagine sustained winds of 115 mph!

Did ships leaving port in Shanghai successfully navigate around Krosa? Many passengers on the Seven Seas Mariner chose not to sail from Shanghai at 7a.m on Oct 7. Captain planned to navigate around Krosa at that time. What route could he have taken to avoid Krosa?
