Super Typhoon Melor Eyewall Replacement Cycle

October 5-6 2009, the winds were 135 knots or 156 mph. Gusts were up to 165 knots or 190 mph. Watch the zoomed in loop. The dark region wrapping around the center is the eyewall replacement cycle, which most super typhoons and major hurriances experience. As the eyewall winds up tightly around the center of the storm, a second eyewall form farther away. This tightens up and replaces the original eye. It is a way a strong storm helps to prevent collapsing on itself.

the tilting of earth cause the changes in latitude and altitude of all areas.After this tilting, the Philippine archipelago is now tilted to the left which mean that the strong winds cause by typhoon will hit likely most of its northern part of luzon and Southern Taiwan and the mainland china around hongkong. Only downfall of rains will be felt in most part of the Philippine Archipelago.
