According to an article on weather.com, a category five typhoon names Trami could potentially hit parts of Taiwan and Japans Ryukyu Islands. Over the weekend, the typhoon went under massive intensification, starting with winds around 35 mph, gaining winds up to 65 mph, which put it in a category 4 intensity. Because of warm waters low wind shear, the typhoon is expected to intensify even more within the next few days, ultimately turning it into a category 5 storm before it hits land later this week. The path of the storm is still hard to determine at this point since it could take many directions, but at the moment, the areas that should be closely watched include Taiwan, China, and Japan. Typhoons often cause a lot of flooding, damaging winds, and sometimes landslides. Asia has been getting hit with many typhoons recently, including one in the Philippines last week and another one in Japan earlier this month. It will be interesting to see how this storm develops over the week and what damage it causes.
