Typhoon LONGWANG was born in Mariana Islands. It is forecast to move westward for the moment. This makes three typhoons active in the western north Pacific, which means that we are in the middle of the peak season of typhoons.
Speaking about the peak season of typhoons, in Japan, today is known to be a unique day in terms of typhoon (landfall). This is because three famous typhoons made landfall at Japan on September 26; namely Toyamaru Typhoon (195415 / MARIE), Kanogawa Typhoon (195822 / IDA), and Isewan Typhoon (195915 / VERA). The list of typhoon damage reveals that these three typhoons are in fact the top three in the ranking of dead or missing people since 1951 -- such huge damage.
This typhoon is still tiny just after the birth, and it is difficult to predict the track and intensification of the typhoon at this time of life cycle, but we need to pay attention to the forecast for preparation.
Well, Longwang is now a supertyphoon. This boy has staying power...
LMAO...
