Typhoon Mindulle (10W) over the Philippines

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard NASA’s Terra satellite captured this true-color image of Typhoon Mindulle on June 29, 2004, at 2:20 UTC as the storm was located approximately 450 miles south-southeast of Tapei, Taiwan. At the time this image was taken, Mindulle had sustained winds of 144 miles per hour with higher gusts to 173 miles per hour.
