Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal published an article about the typhoon currently in Asia, with an interesting choice for a lead photo.
Typhoon Megi, which left Taiwan for China today, has left four dead, 268 injured, and 3.16 million homes without power in Taiwan as of today, according to local media.
People in Taiwan were immediately taken with this woman, who is seen standing in the storm, holding a broken umbrella in one hand and a half-eaten pork bun in the other.
The photo was snapped by an Associated Press photographer and captioned: "A woman eats and struggles with her umbrella against powerful gusts of wind generated by typhoon Megi across the the island in Taipei, Taiwan, Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2016."

And is just so damn relatable.
Not to mention super smart??? Because who would want to lose a delicious pork bun to a typhoon?
"It'd be blown away too if she didn't eat it. The pork bun is only safe in her stomach!"

The discussion spread across Taiwanese media and on to discussion forum PTT, where this woman was basically hailed as a legend.

But mostly, people were just wondering where they could buy the pork bun.
No one knows who the woman is, and the only other photographic evidence of her is this gem, also from the AP.
Local Taiwanese media interviewed someone claiming to be a relative who said the woman's husband bought the pork bun for her from a local convenience store called FamilyMart.
