Satellite footage captures Super Typhoon with 165mph winds raging over Phillippine Sea

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) revealed footage showing the formation of Super Typhoon Chanthu over the Philippine Sea on Friday, September 10.

Recorded by Japan’s Himawari-8 space station, the satellite imagery captures the intensity of Super Typhoon Chanthu, as NOAA recorded 165 mph winds, which are equivalent to a Category 5 Atlantic hurricane.

Chanthu is said to impact Taiwan on Saturday and Sunday, right after raging over the Philippines.

As a response to Chanthu’s forecasted arrival, Taiwan has issued a sea warning.
