The latest info on casualties is 6 dead. As a comparison the last typhoon of this magnitude (Morakot in 2009) left 461 people dead in Taiwan alone, so unfortunately I think we'll get plenty of bad news soon.

In addition to the insane wind speed the rainfall is unusually high for a typhoon. Here's what the river in Taipei (the capital) looks like (Source: my FB feed): http://imgur.com/XUmM8uD

Here's a local news clip of the aftermath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EKKr0PNQVY

Edit: updated casualties from 4 to 6 and added bit more info.
