Typhoon Sinlaku: Natural Hazards
description:
On September 6, 2002, Typhoon Sinlaku grazed the northern half of Taiwan, forcing hundreds from their homes. The typhoon can be seen sweeping by Taiwan in this true-color image taken on September 6 by the modis.gsfc.nasa.gov Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's terra.nasa.gov Terra spacecraft. The typhoon blew quickly by the island, packing sustained winds of 90 miles (145 kilometers) per hour. High surf and flash floods hit the island and led to the evacuation of 1,500 people from their homes. Two people were reported as missing. Relatively little property damage occurred as a result of the typhoon.
