How powerful is the super typhoon in the sea?

Typhoons are extremely destructive. Take Taipei, the strongest typhoon in history, as an example.

There was a lot of precipitation in Taipei in the early stage. When the typhoon passed through the ocean near Guam, the total precipitation at Anderson Air Force Base was as high as 23 10 mm, and the peripheral rain of the storm's large-scale circulation brought moderate precipitation to the mountainous area of Luzon Island in the Philippines.

The rainstorm brought by the typhoon caused floods, which broke through the flood control wall of Fuji Camp, a training facility of the US Marine Corps near Yokosuka City. The marines in the camp entered the wooden house on the mountain to escape, but there was also an oil depot in the house. Due to the flood, the hoses of two rubber oil storage bags were damaged and fell off, resulting in a large amount of fuel leaking down the mountain and being ignited by the heating equipment equipped in one of the wooden houses. The fire claimed the lives of 13 marines, injured 68 others, destroyed the barracks in the camp, and destroyed many other buildings including 15 wooden house. The barracks were later rebuilt and a memorial site was built for all the soldiers who died in the fire.

Typhoon Taipei swept the sea about 65 kilometers east of Okinawa, with a local sustained wind speed of about 72 kilometers per hour and a gust wind speed of 1 12 kilometers per hour. Japan's sustained wind speed is lack of data records, and it is estimated that it should be at the lowest standard of typhoon intensity. The country's agriculture and fisheries suffered millions of dollars in losses due to the passage of typhoons. Eight ships ran aground or sank, and 44 fishermen died or disappeared; A China cargo ship was broken in two by a typhoon. Fortunately, all 46 crew members on board were successfully rescued.

Heavy rain triggered more than 600 mudslides in mountainous areas around Japan, and more than 22,000 houses were flooded, resulting in 42 deaths, 7/kloc-0 missing and 283 injured. 70 riverbanks burst, 27 bridges and/or kloc-0/05 dikes were destroyed. After the storm, at least 1. 1 ten thousand people were displaced. Taipei destroyed a variety of crops, including apples, rice and peaches, and five ships sank due to bad sea conditions. Many 50-story buildings in Tokyo, the capital, swayed from side to side in the strong wind. Traffic in Japan was also seriously affected, with 200 trains and 160 domestic flights cancelled. It is reported that Taipei was the strongest storm that hit Japan in 13.
