| - Typhoon Mangkhut was another storm in a long series to hit the Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, adding to the deaths and destruction caused by the other storms. Mangkhut developed form a low pressure area that developed near Guam and the Marianas, before explosively strengthening to a category 5 super typhoon. In fact, the winds increased form 65 mph to 160 mph in 18 hours, one of the fastest intensification rates ever observed in a tropical cyclone anywhere in the world. Super typhoon Mangkhut made landfall at peak intensity on Luzon Island, Philippines, wreaking havoc on the already disaster rated zone. Mangkhut emerged into the South China Sea as a category 4 super typhoon, and took aim at Hong Kong, hitting with record 130 mph winds, with gusts reaching 180 mph in the most exposed areas, before moving up the inland coast , emerging into the Sea of Japan briefly as a category 1 typhoon, before making landfall in South Korea with 85 mph winds. From here, Mangkhut again emerged over water, still as a category 1 typhoon, before weakening to a tropical storm and making landfall on Japan with 60 mph winds. Mangkhut then emerged back out into the Pacific as a weak tropical storm, before weakening to a tropical depression and going extratropical, dissipating 2 days later after being absorbed by a larger low pressure area. During its lifecycle, Mangkhut caused the deaths of 167 people, left $3 billion in damages, and left 8 others missing after the storm. The names used for this storm were retired due to the excessive death toll and damages done during its lifecycle.
