Uploader comment: A short-lived but intense storm, Super Typhoon Lekima spun over the Pacific Ocean in late October, 2013. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this true-color image of Lekima in the Northwest Pacific Ocean on October 24 at 0105 UTC (9:05 pm EDT) when it was at Super Typhoon status, with one-minute maximum sustained winds hovering at 160 mph (257 km/h).
