North Indian Ocean? Looks like the Pacific to me.
That is a monster of a storm. Hoping for the best for all in the path. At that windspeed and current path, I feel also for the people of North Korea..I’m afraid their current government won’t even let them know it is coming..

Looks like it’s going to miss Japan, but those things are just barely predictable.
Weather Underground says the storm has weakened to 145 MPH, still a strong storm though.
