Powerful Typhoon Phanfone, August 15, 2002
Powerful Typhoon Phanfone, packing winds of up to 78 miles per hour, was on course to hit Japan's outlying Pacific islands. The storm disupted air and ferry services and the associated weater system brought heavy rains to central Japan.

This animation zooms down to Typhoon Phanfone just south of Japan. The structure of the storm is revealed where yellow represents 0.5 inches of rain or more, green shows 1.0 inches of rain and red shows 2.0 inches or more.    This animation zooms down to Typhoon Phanfone just south of Japan.
