6:15 a.m. Sunday, April 18, Japan time: Just when you thought Super Typhoon Surigae couldn t get any stronger . well . it did. It s becoming the fourth super storm to affect the Pacific region in the last 5 1/2 months, joining Super Typhoon Goni in October-November in the Philippines, and Severe Tropical Cyclones Narin and Yasa in the South Pacific, each of which reached Category 5-equivalent intensity. At 3 a.m., Surigae was 943 miles south of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, and 515 miles east-southeast of Metro Manila, moving northwest at 12 mph, packing 190-mph sustained winds and 230-mph gusts at center, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
Surigae downgraded to regular typhoon status, remains a dangerous Category 4-equivalent storm; TCWS 2 remains raised for eastern Philippines; long-range forecast calls for passage well southeast of Okinawa.
