Dueling typhoons in NW Pacific (ASL – 8.9.19)

Transcript

Take a look at this remarkable image from space.

It shows two massive storms swirling in the Pacific Ocean.

Typhoon Krosa is now as strong as a category three hurricane while Lekima is a super typhoon, which means it is producing winds of at least 150 miles per hour.

That’s similar strength to a category four hurricane.

Lekima is pummeling Japan’s Ryukyu Islands, the country’s southern island chain that includes Okinawa.

It’s also impacting Taiwan and is expected to head toward China’s coast by Saturday.

Krosa’s course is less clear but it could head to Japan next week.

And winds produced by Lekima could alter Krosa’s course if the two storms move close enough together.
