Summary

Description
English: Well away from land, Typhoon Vamco moved north over the Pacific Ocean on August 20, 2009, gradually building steam. When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image at 00:05 UTC, the storm had sustained winds of 195 kilometers per hour (120 miles per hour or 105 knots), according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Forecasters expected the typhoon to continue to strengthen into a Category 4 Super Typhoon by August 21.
