Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The title of “strongest storm of 2008” goes to Typhoon Jangmi, shown in this image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite from September 27, 2008.

Seen from space, even a super typhoon seems more beautiful than dangerous. The 50-kilometer-wide eye of Jangmi is encircled by a smooth disk of clouds. Bands of clouds swirl gracefully into the low-pressure heart of the storm. The smooth cloud band north of the eye is studded with thunderstorms.

On the ground, Jangmi was less lovely It was not only the strongest storm in any ocean basin in 2008 but the only storm to reach category 5 strength anywhere in the world that year.
