Typhoon
European combat aircraft
A typhoon is a tropical cyclone that forms in the western Pacific Ocean, equivalent to what is called a hurricane in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific.
These massive storm systems feature violent winds rotating around a central eye, heavy rainfall, and destructive storm surges.
Typhoons typically threaten coastal areas of East and Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Japan, and China.
The typhoon made landfall with winds exceeding 150 miles per hour.
