If this is in the Atlantic, it's at least 150mph.

Do they have any radar stations in the Philippines? I don't think do? It would be interesting to see what a storm like this looks like under a, say, Nexrad, for example.

One other thing, a 920 mb storm in WPAC is not quite as intense as a 920 mb storm in the ATL under most circumstances since the storms form in a lower ambient pressure and thus have to have lower central pressures in order to build up a strong gradient. In order to have 140kt winds like Andrew, a WPAC storm needs to be at around 895mb. September through November is Super season in WPAC so Cimaron is not an unusual happenstance in this particular part of WPAC this time of year.

What's the Dvorak ratings for Cimaron?

It's one of the most impressive looking storms I've seen in a while.

Steve just out of curiosity is October the month that Phillipines are most likely to be hit by strong typhoons

just from memory

Angelea, Zeb and Babs were all intense October typhoons

October and November.

Unfortunately, they also tend to come in pairs. Let's hope another one doesn't follow Cimaron.

Perhaps Cimaron is following Xangsane?

I had not checked up on Cimaron for like 9 hours and he now looks a bit like Hurricane Mitch! The eye is almost the same size. This is a excellent looking October typhoon. The eye cleared out fast didn't it?

NRL now says 140 kt/898 mbar, which would make it a Category 5 super typhoon on hte JTWC's scale.
