Japan Times, Oct. 9, 2014: A supertyphoon on course to hit Japan over the weekend is as powerful as [Haiyan] meteorologists said Wednesday. The monstrous storm… churned through the far west of the Pacific Ocean. “Its strength is very much similar to Haiyan,”…said a meteorologist at the Meteorological Agency… Vongfong was registering gusts of the same strength… Its present course will see it smash into Japan some time over the weekend, just days after another typhoon whipped through…

Washington Post, Oct. 9, 2014: Imagery from satellite (and astronauts) illustrates what a powerful storm Super Typhoon Vongfong became this week… The super typhoon is not only powerful but large, with gale-force winds covering around 340,000 square miles — about 70,000 square miles larger than the state of Texas… Super Typhoon Vongfong’s eye was estimated to be around 50 miles wide.

Astronaut Reid Wiseman, Oct. 9, 2014: #SuperTyphoon #Vongfang – I’ve seen many from here, but none like this.

Voice of America, Oct. 9, 2014: The most powerful storm on the planet so far this year… is forecast to strike mainland Japan before Monday… U.S. Air Force weather flight chief Master Sergeant Tonya Trythall… said the storm’s current location is one of the better places to sustain a tropical cyclone… “But as it starts turning north… water start cooling off slightly [and there’s] upper level winds… The storm itself is going to be stronger so it’s not going to tear it apart easily.”

NBC News, Oct. 9, 2014: “It’s safe to say Vongfong is the strongest storm on earth since Haiyan last year,” said [Weather Channel’s] Michael Lowry… Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center said Thursday morning… ocean waves were already as high as 50 feet.
