typhoon pics

Typhoon pics- I couldn't believe I didn't hear about this! Typhoons are a scary thing, and I am glad I don't live in an area that is affected by them. I read another article saying that after Chanchu hit the Phillipines it was supposed to keep gaining strength. I found this picture that the link is to and it was an awesome pick from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). In the picture, Chanchu had clearly developed a weak spiral form, but did not have tightly wound spiral arms or any apparent eye structure. The winds were estimated to be around 65 miles per hour at the time of the picture. It's a great picture, take a look.
