On August 21, 2018, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of Typhoon Soulik approaching the Korean Peninsula.

Summary

Description

English: Typhoon Soulik made landfall at Daejeon, South Korea on August 23, 2018, less than 90 miles (145 km) south of Seoul. According to the Korea Herald, the storm battered the southern region, damaging buildings and roads, causing power outages, and leaving one person missing and two injured. Soulik was rapidly weakening as it passed over the Korean Peninsula and will pass over the eastern coast as an extra-tropical system on August 24.

On August 21, 2018, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of Typhoon Soulik approaching the Korean Peninsula. The large eye of the massive storm measured approximately 50 miles wide at the time this image was captured. Convective bands cover part of Japan while China sits to the west of the storm. The Korean Peninsula can be seen in the center north (top) of the image partially covered by a broad bank of cloud.

At 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC) on August 21 the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) reported that Typhoon Soulik was located approximately 194 nautical miles north-northeast of Kadena Air Base and has tracked northwestward at 15 mph (24 km/h). Maximum sustained winds were near 109 mph (176 km/h), making it a strong Category 2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
