Super Typhoon Yagi, formed in the Philippine Sea, reached maximum winds of 150 mph and is expected to strike southern China, marking the strongest storm in a decade.
The unique conditions of the western Pacific Ocean allow it to support some of the planet's most powerful storms, driving the intensity of typhoons like Yagi.
As Yagi churns towards Hainan, schools are being shut down, flights canceled, and bridges closed in preparation for its destructive winds and flooding rains.
All tropical cyclones are essentially the same; differing only in name based on their region—hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the Pacific.
