Super hurricanes and typhoons are among the most powerful and destructive natural disasters on Earth. These storms form over warm ocean waters and can reach sustained wind speeds of over 250 kilometers per hour (155 miles per hour). They can cause catastrophic damage to coastal areas, with storm surges, high winds, and torrential rains leading to widespread flooding, power outages, and loss of life. Super hurricanes and typhoons are becoming more common and intense due to climate change, posing a significant threat to vulnerable communities around the world.
