How powerful is the super typhoon in the sea?

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

Taipe produced a large amount of precipitation early in its existence. The total precipitation at Andersen Air Force Base during the typhoon passed over the ocean near Guam was as high as 2,310 mm. The outer rainbands of the storm's large-scale circulation brought moderate rainfall to the mountainous areas of Luzon in the Philippines.

The heavy rain caused by the typhoon caused flooding and broke through the flood wall of Camp Fuji, a training facility of the U.S. Marine Corps near Yokosuka. The Marines in the camp took shelter in wooden houses on the mountain, but there were also In the oil depot, due to the flood, the hoses of two rubber oil storage bags were damaged and fell off, causing a large amount of fuel to leak and flow down the mountain. It was ignited by the heating equipment in one of the wooden houses. The fire claimed 13 lives. Marines were killed, 68 others were injured, the camp's barracks was destroyed, and many other buildings, including 15 cabins, were destroyed. The barracks was later rebuilt and a memorial was built for all the soldiers who lost their lives in the fire.

Typhoon Taipe passed over the sea about 65 kilometers east of Okinawa. The local sustained wind speed was about 72 kilometers per hour, and the gust speed reached 112 kilometers per hour. Japan's sustained wind speed lacks data records, and it is estimated that it should be at the lowest level of typhoon intensity. The country's agriculture and fisheries suffered millions of dollars in damage from the passage of the typhoon. Eight ships ran aground or sank, and 44 fishermen were killed or missing; a Chinese cargo ship was broken into two parts due to a typhoon, but fortunately all 46 crew members on board were successfully rescued.

Heavy rains triggered more than 600 mudslides in mountainous areas across Japan. More than 22,000 homes were flooded, resulting in 42 deaths, 71 others missing, and 283 injuries. There were 70 river embankment breaches, 27 bridges and about 105 embankments destroyed. At least 11,000 people were displaced after the storm passed. 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 the capital Tokyo swayed left and right under strong winds. Transportation in Japan has also been severely affected, with 200 trains and 160 domestic flights canceled. There are reports that Taipei is the strongest storm to hit Japan in 13 years.
