Taiwan (HDW) September 4, 2004 - Category Four Super Typhoon Songda barrels straight toward Taiwan and Eastern China in this true-color Terra MODIS image from September 2, 2004. Songda could be the third typhoon to hit Taiwan this season; Aere and Rananim caused extensive damage from which Taiwan is still recovering. Songda fluctuated between tropical storm and depression
status for two days before ramping up to Typhoon-level winds of 70 knots
on August 29th. After spending a day as a low-level typhoon, Songda became
a Category 4 storm with 120 knot winds by early morning on the 31st. Since
then, Songda has kept its winds above 105 knots (Category 3), and shows
signs of staying as strong through September 6th. |
