You just don't see this in the Atlantic.
Two Pacific typhoons, "Muifa" and "Merbok" on consecutive passes of MODIS in the PM. "Muifa" was approaching Okinawa the other day, which took strong hits from the leading and trailing eyewalls of Muifa. Merbok is heading towards Kamchatka, so should die quickly, but as of this writing just developed a nice eye.
Here in the Land of Dawn, the freedom-fighters keeping watch on the commies to the north and west are awaiting 1 to 2 days of large, slow-moving Muifa. The storm is long past it's peak, has drawn in dry, dirty, Chinese air, but the strong side is going to pass right up the coast of the West Sea (Yellow Sea to you commie lovers). Hundreds have died in the peninsula of Korea during the flooding of this rainy season, so conservative guesses are dozens more with this event.
