Typhoon Nuri Will Turn Into A Monster Super Typhoon Tomorrow

The Pacific ocean is known to churn out monster storms. It will prove that once again. Typhoon Nuri which lies 2220 Kms SSW of Yokosuka, Japan will turn into a super typhoon with winds of 250 Kph gusting up to a whopping 310 Kph. Phew!

It is curving towards Japan but it it will not strike the islands, but pass it by on November 6-7, 2014. But the country will feel its effects. The eastern coast will see strong winds and rains on those days.

Japan is lucky that Nuri has decided to give it a skip.

And Nuri is going to fly to Japan. It will kiss Japanese shores on November 7 and move along the east coast with strong gale and a deluge. Tokyo too will feel its effect.

The Philippines will remain untouched by the storm. In a day or two it will curve northwards towards Japan.
