      On October 16, 2022, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer   
      (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquire a true-color image of   
      Typhoon Nesat spinning over the South China Sea. The storm was moving   
      away from the Philippines, where it had made landfall on October 16,   
      and was taking aim at Vietnam. According to media reports, Nesat   
      brought heavy flooding to the northern Philippines, and forced the   
      evacuation of about 1,000 people.   
      
      Near the time this image was captured, Typhoon Nesat was carrying   
      maximum sustained winds near 80 mph (129 km/h) and was intensifying. By   
      October 17, Nesat’s maximum sustained winds reached 105 mph (169 km/h),   
      which is the equivalent of a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson   
      Hurricane Wind Scale.   
      
      On October 18 at 0.00 UTC (8:00 p.m. EDT on October 17), the Joint   
      Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) advised that Typhoon Nesat was located   
      about 285 miles south of Hong Kong and was tracking west-southwest.   
      Maximum sustained winds were reported at about 92 mph (148 km/h), with   
      higher gusts. It is expected that Nesat will continue to move westward   
      over the South China Sea, passing south of Hainan, China on October   
      19-20 as it weakens. It is expected to be downgraded to a tropical   
      storm by the time it makes landfall over northern Vietnam between   
      October 21-22.
