Super typhoon Usagi, strongest
storm on Earth in 2013, may strike Hong Kong Sunday

In the last 24 hours, a cyclone in the west
Pacific has explosively intensified, and is on a track towards Hong Kong. The
storm – named Usagi – has achieved super typhoon status, after an amazing burst
in its peak winds from 75 mph Tuesday to over 160 mph today. (Typhoons become
“super typhoons” if their peak winds reach 150 mph or higher). It is now
equivalent to a category 5 hurricane. Usagi is now the strongest storm to form
on Earth in 2013, more intense than Utor (peak winds of 150 mph) and Soulik
(peak winds of 145 mph), also west Pacific typhoons. The storm’s satellite
presentation is immaculate, perfectly symmetric and accentuated with a pin-hole
eye. As it heads due west, it is
expected to maintain its strength for the next 24 hours. Then it might bend a
bit to the north and begin to gradually weaken according to the Joint Typhoon
Warning Center.
