Typhoon Gay was the strongest typhoon of the season (indeed there appears to be some debate as to whether it surpassed the record intensity of Super Typhoon Tip[3]), Gay reached peak winds of 185 mph (298 km/h) winds over the open Western Pacific in mid-November, and went on to threaten the Marina islands at peak strength, but weakened greatly due to interaction with Typhoon Hunt thus causing a surprisingly low death toll over the Marianas Islands with moderate damage.[4]
