The following are the 8 super typhoons that attacked the world:

1. Typhoon Tip

Typhoon Tip formed in the Northwest Pacific Ocean on Oct. 12, 1979, and was the largest and most intense tropical cyclone on record.

2. Typhoon Nora

Nora has the less-heralded distinction of having the warmest eye of any tropical cyclone at 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius).

3. Typhoon John

 John was both the longest-lasting and the farthest-traveling tropical cyclone ever observed. John formed during the strong El Niño of 1991 to 1994 and peaked as a Category 5 hurricane.

4. Typhoon Forrest

Super Typhoon Forrest developed in the Western Pacific Ocean in September 1983 over the open ocean. It was the fastest-developing tropical cyclone on record, with a pressure drop of 100 millibars in a 24-hour period.

5. Typhoon Sarah

Super Typhoon Sarah, which peaked at 190 mph (310 kph), made landfall on southern South Korea on Sept. 17. 1959. Sarah’s high winds and rain caused 6 deaths, destroyed 6,000 houses and ruined millions of dollars in crops.

6. Typhoon Vera

One of the deadliest typhoons, Vera crashed into Japan in late-September 1959, killing 5,098 people and injuring nearly 40,000 more.

7. Typhoon Megi

Typhoon Megi made landfall early on Oct. 18, 2010, in the Philippines and was one of the strongest typhoons on record. Spanning more than 370 miles (600 kilometers), the mega-storm sustained winds of 178 mph (287 km per hour), according to the United States’ Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).

8. Typhoon Nancy

Typhoon Nancy formed on Sept. 12, 1961, in the Northwest Pacific region. Nancy had possibly the strongest winds ever measured in a tropical cyclone (tropical storms, hurricanes and typhoons). Nancy’s estimated sustained winds were at 213 mph (343 kph), making the storm a Category 5 super typhoon.

I may add next time typhoons that killed 6,800 people in Philippines.These typhoons devastated lives and properties.
