A super-typhoon with 180 MPH winds!
#Goni has undergone explosive rapid intensification in the past 24 hours: +70 kts (80 mph) and dropped 71 millibars (!). It is now a 175 mph (1-min avg sustained) Category 5-equivalent Super Typhoon. This is the strongest tropical cyclone on Earth, thus far, in 2020. #Philippines pic.twitter.com/skGrtYLX7r

I’m awfully glad I don’t live in The Philippines. Makes me wonder if all able ocean going ships in harbor there have made a beeline for safer waters.
