Japan's typhoon impacts could hit double digits

Japan has been already affected this year by 9 typhoons breaking the old record of 6 established in 1990. But this record could be broken again if Tokage continues in its forecasted track.

ALMOST SUPER TYPHOON TOKAGE:

Japan has had it REALLY rough this year. The building codes in southern Japan aren't nearly as good as many think.

Interestingly, the Philippines have hardly been hit this year.

Only Mindulle and Nida have hit the Philippines.

However, October and November are the months that the Philippines are most vulnerable to destructive typhoons. Not only that, but destructive typhoons usually hit the Philippines in pairs during these months.

The worst year for the Philippines was probably 1970.

In mid-September, Super Typhoon Georgia made landfall on the Philippines as a Category 5 with sustained winds of 160 mph.

In mid-October, Super Typhoon Kate made landfal as a Category 4 with sustained winds of 150 mph.

Only a few days after Kate, Super Typhoon Joan made landfall as a Category 5 with sustained winds of 175 mph.

In late-November, Super Typhoon Patsy made landfall as a Category 4 with sustained winds of 155 mph.

Actually, they didnt get it too bad. Most of these "typhoons" were simply tropical storms or Cat 1's. There were ZERO majors at landfall. Florida got 3 majors, and another that was almost as bad.

After all we have only 6 months of hurricane season, they have the entire year to be worried about typhoons.

Apparently, Nock-ten will also affect in some way Japan later this week or during the weekend.

Continue watching the Japanese Typhoon Channel.
