Super Typhoon Hagibis has undergone extremely rapid intensification. A very small, pin-point eye is unusual with Western Pacific typhoons but means it is extremely intense.
Satellite estimates are 155-knots and rising (T 7.5) … no imminent threat to land. pic.twitter.com/500nsztlzV

AVN satellite imagery means a lot to me, it was “filter” I used to load final images before super #typhoon #Haiyan hit Philippines. To see a solid donut of dark grey surrounding an eye is very rare, #Hagibis an absolute textbook cat 5 right now (Hagibis left, Haiyan right) pic.twitter.com/134P03rt4Y

No better example of explosive intensification in a tropical cyclone than this automated Dvorak chart. (Method of estimating intensity via satellite with max value being T8.0) Right now #Hagibis is raw T7.8, wow! #typhoon #nerdtweet pic.twitter.com/ilGPfuu2ob
