The explosive intensification of #Typhoon #Rai #OdettePH is certainly the worst we have seen all year– on approach to land. The typhoon strengthened 60 knots (110 km/h, 70 mph) in 12 hours; 80kt -> 140 kt. This rate was matched by Cyclone Habana earlier in March. #storm #wx pic.twitter.com/DhPK7oCkOr
