That's right, Typhoon Hagupit, which was upgraded to a typhoon just a few hours before the earthquake and tsunami, may have watched its brothers, the volcano, the tsunami and the earthquake, making a lot of noise from a distance, so it couldn't stand the loneliness. It's just making a lot of noise, who can't do it? Come on, I have to work hard to upgrade, otherwise if the level is too low, how can I happily team up with my brothers to play the Philippines dungeon!

So in just one day, Hagupit was upgraded from a typhoon to a strong typhoon, and then from a strong typhoon to a super typhoon.

One has to sigh at Hagibis's upgrade speed, but this guy was having a great time upgrading, and all the people who wanted to rescue the disaster area were completely dumbfounded.

What is the concept of a Category 17 super typhoon?

It's very simple!

The wind speed of a Category 17 typhoon is 56.1-61.2 m/s, or 202-220 km/h, which is faster than the average speed of a Formula 1 car. In other words, if you are lucky enough to be in an Formula 1 car, going at full speed with the top down, you will feel a Category 17 wind.

When a typhoon of this magnitude makes landfall, all the trees will fall down wherever it passes. Even if several people hug a century-old tree, they will not be able to escape the disaster. Moreover, even the bark will be scraped off.

Parked vehicles, no matter what tonnage, will be blown over. Electric poles and street lights along the way will also be difficult to stand, and some old bridges that have been built for a long time will basically be blown down.

As for the houses, there is no need to explain, as no one knows where the simple houses flew away. The better brick and tile houses had their roofs blown away by the typhoon, while the worse ones collapsed completely. As for the concrete houses, although they did not collapse, their doors and windows could not be saved.

The most terrifying thing is that once a super typhoon makes landfall, it often causes a storm surge. Although this storm surge cannot be compared with the tsunami that occurred yesterday, it is definitely a disaster for humans. This storm surge is much larger than the normal high tide. The waves can rise several stories high, and houses in coastal areas will be submerged by sea water in an instant.

Therefore, once a super typhoon makes landfall, the damage it causes is even greater than that caused by earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. The fact that typhoons rank first among the five major natural disasters is not just a joke, but is based on real evidence.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or tsunamis may have a single destructive power greater than that of typhoons, but there are many typhoons every year. Just like last year, Mangkhut and Maria made landfall in China with wind speeds of level 14 when they made landfall, which were only considered strong typhoons; Connie and Feiyan made landfall in Japan and South Korea with wind speeds of strong typhoon levels when they made landfall; and when Yutu landed on Luzon Island in the Philippines, the maximum wind speed near the center was also level 14, which is a strong typhoon level.

Last year, these few strong typhoons that made landfall alone caused huge losses to the coastal countries in the western Pacific. If Hagupit had not weakened and had continued to hit Luzon Island as a super typhoon, the losses would have been even greater.

In fact, Hagupit, who was watching his brothers having fun there, couldn't help himself. He upgraded and upgraded again happily, and finally when he reached the sea about 200 kilometers southeast of Luzon Island, he successfully upgraded to a super typhoon, with the maximum wind speed in the center exceeding 60 meters per second!

Hagupit approached the Philippines with a domineering attitude. Although the radius of the 17th-level wind circle was only a few dozen kilometers, the 12th-level wind circle of this guy was as high as nearly 300 kilometers! In other words, when Hagupit was upgraded to a super typhoon, its 12th-level wind circle had already covered the entire disaster area.

The waves caused by a force 12 wind can be as high as 10 meters. In this case, who dares to go out to sea? Even aircraft carriers and oil tankers of hundreds of thousands of tons dare not go out to sea in such sea conditions, not to mention the rescue ships whose maximum tonnage is only about 10,000 tons.

Going out to sea under such circumstances is simply seeking death!

The Philippine authorities were also blocked by the happy Hagupit. It was a super typhoon. In the past, it would be comparable to a mushroom bomb. If it came once, you would be skinned alive even if you didn't die.

Now, after the volcano, earthquake and tsunami, Hagupit has come to join in the fun again. This is really frustrating.

It is said, just said, that in the presidential palace in Manila, President Duterte was scratching his head anxiously, "Hey, what is the name of this damn typhoon?"

"Reporting to Mr. President, this is Super Typhoon Hagupit, the fourth typhoon this year."

"Hagebi? Who the hell came up with this name? Why is a typhoon called something like that? It's so dark!"

"Mr. President, in fact, this name was given by our country, the Philippines. According to the World Meteorological Organization's naming standards for typhoons in the western Pacific, this year's fourth typhoon happens to be the one named Hagupit by our country..."

"Hagebi, Hegebi! I'm gonna fuck your sister's big Hegebi..." A roar rang out in the luxurious presidential palace...
