Super Typhoon Nida (2016, AnnaKendrick47)

Super Typhoon Nida, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Anna was the strongest tropical cyclone ever to make landfall in recorded history, as well as being one of the

strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded; devastating portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, in mid-January 2016, during the 73rd Golden Globe Awards. It is the deadliest and costliest tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in recorded history, and is the costliest tropical cyclone ever outside the United States. Nida is also the strongest tropical cyclone to strike a major metropolitan area. It is also among the largest tropical cyclones in terms of gale-force wind diameter.

Nida had its origins over the Western Pacific Ocean, very close to the equator, well south-southeast of Kosrae. It moved to the north-northwest and shifted westerly in track. It later continued its path westwards as it gradually intensifies. After hitting the Mariana Islands, it later begins its phase of Rapid deepening and explosive intensification from a severe tropical storm to a category 5 super typhoon in just 24 hours. It weakened to a category 4 before intensifying into a category 5 for the second time for an extended period of time.

It continually intensified moving due westwards while approaching the Philippines. As the typhoon slowly decelerated, it had attained its peak winds of 205 knots (380 km/h; 237 mph) or 10-minute sustained of 135 knots (300 km/h; 185 mph) with a pressure reading of 800 hPa, measured by a reconnaissance flight by a hurricane hunter aircraft. On 1245 UTC, January 9th, Nida had made landfall over Quezon at peak intensity which made it the strongest ever to make landfall. It had slightly weakened due to land interaction, and made its second landfall over Metro Manila, also at peak intensity on January 10th, during the 73rd Golden Globe Awards then made several more landfalls over the Southern Luzon Islands.
