Typhoon No.0108 (Toraji) struck central Taiwan July 29 to 30, 2001, and caused a heavy rainfall disaster. In Hualien and Nanto prefectures hourly precipitation of more than 100mm lasted 3 hours, and the total precipitation was more than 500 mm. As a result heavy debris flows occurred in many places in both prefectures, and severe flooding occurred due to both overtopping flow and bank breaches, in Nanto Prefecture. Owing these flood and sediment disasters, more than 210 persons were killed or missing and severe damage was done throughout the country. Typhoon No.9608 (Herb) had struck this same area in July 1996, and rainfall stronger than that of the 2001 event was recorded. The damage done by typhoon No.0108, however, was greater than that done by typhoon No.9608.
