Today, Typhoon "Xialang" approaches Japan's Izu Islands, and an aircraft flies through the interior of the typhoon for observation. Spiral cloud bands can be seen in the eye of the typhoon, which are called "mesoscale vortices" and are a typical feature of strong typhoons. According to reports, a thick wall of clouds around the eye of a typhoon is the part closest to the center of the typhoon and the most dangerous.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a special warning for storms and huge waves. The Izu Islands may experience a serious disaster once in decades. Strong winds increase the risk of building collapse.
In addition, secondary disasters such as landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, and river flooding may occur in the area.
It is reported that this year's No. 22 typhoon "Xialang" is approaching Japan's Izu Islands. The maximum wind speed near the center is 50 meters per second, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed reaches 70 meters per second.
According to the latest news from the Central Meteorological Observatory: Typhoon "Xialang" was located on the ocean about 910 kilometers east of Japan's Kyushu Island at 8:00 today (October 9). The maximum wind force near the center was level 15 (50 meters/second, strong typhoon level).
It is expected that "Xia Lang" will move rapidly east-northward at a speed of 35-40 kilometers per hour, and its intensity will gradually weaken.
