Powerful Super Typhoon Nepartak, the first super typhoon of the season, has central Taiwan directly in its projected pathway. As a reminder, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center characterizes a storm as a Super Typhoon if it reaches maximum sustained 1-minute surface winds of at least 150 mph or 130 kt. In the Atlantic basin this designation would be equivalent to a category 4 or 5 storm.
