The wind is especially strong today. I almost got blown over on my way here.

Around 2 a.m. (on the 30th), we received the report. Everything was restored by 5:30 a.m.

(Was everything secured yesterday?) It was, with wire and sandbags. (And it still collapsed?) That's right.
Trees also fell in Tainan. Fortunately, no one was hurt. A weather expert says the strong winds were caused by the high-pressure cold front currently affecting Taiwan.
This is a high-pressure cold front and the pressure (is what is causing the difference in hot and cold air density).
The Central Weather Bureau issued cold-surge advisories on the 30th along with strong wind advisories for all areas north of Kaohsiung, eastern Taiwan, the Hengchun Peninsula, coastal and open areas, and offshore islands. Coastal areas could also see larger waves than usual.

另外台南也發生多起路樹倒塌,還好沒有傷到人。氣象專家表示,風勢強勁是受到這波冷高壓影響。
天氣風險管理公司分析師 李承運表示:「(這波寒流)北邊大陸,冷高壓中心強度,它氣壓的高度,氣壓的壓力,是比較大的(造成冷暖空氣密度差)。」
