In just 30 hours, from October 23 to 24, 2018, a tropical storm in the western Pacific Ocean exploded in a category 5 super-typhoon Now that storm has directly affected Tinian and Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, a territory of the United States.
Super Typhoon Yutu has tied Super Typhoon Mangkhut as the strongest storm on Earth this year and is probably the strongest to make a direct impact on the Mariana Islands since the modern record began. Yutu is the 31st cyclonic storm of the Pacific typhoon season and the tenth category 5 storm on Earth in 2018, the second most in any year. (In 1997, there were twelve category 5 storms).
The natural color image above was acquired on the afternoon of October 24, 2018, by the Moderate resolution image spectroradiometer (MODIS) at NASA Water satelite. Several hours later, the polar-orbiting satellite NOAA-20 acquired nighttime images of the storm around the time of landfall.
This animation shows the development of the storm wind field between 21 and 24 October 2018. The strongest winds appear in red; The lightest winds are white. Note the rapid intensification that begins on October 23. The wind data come from Earth observation system Goddard (GEOS), an experimental meteorological model that NASA scientists use to analyze global weather events. The GEOS model ingests wind data from more than 30 sources, including ships, buoys, radiosondes, lights, aircraft and satellites.
At 10 pm. local time (12:00 universal time) on October 24, the Typhoon warning center in the United States the sustained wind speed reported by Yutu was 155 knots (180 miles / 255 kilometers per hour), with gusts of up to 190 knots. Winds with typhoon strength extended to 140 kilometers (85 miles) from the eye, while winds with tropical storm force extended to 390 kilometers (240 miles). The significant maximum height of the waves in the open ocean was estimated at 52 feet (16 meters), and forecasters were concerned about significant storms on the islands of North Mariana.
In the forecasts made just before Yutu made landfall, forecasters predicted extensive areas of 4-8 inches (100-200 millimeters) of rain, and some areas would see 10 inches (250 mm). Flooding and landslides were a serious concern, but the strongest warnings were related to the fierce winds. The United States. Office of the National Meteorology Service in Tiyan, Guam, declared: "Most homes will suffer severe damage, with the possibility of full roof failures and wall collapse. Most industrial buildings will be destroyed. "
