Summary

Description

Typhoon Utor struck the Philippines on December 9, 2006. Coming just a week after Super Typhoon Durian passed through the island chain on a parallel path just to the north, Utor brought heavy rain and strong winds to sodden ground and swollen rivers. Xangsane, Cimaron, and Chebi earlier in the year had also followed very similar tracks to Utor. Like Durian before it, Utor then crossed the South China Sea and come ashore in mainland Asia along the Vietnam coast.

This photo-like image was acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite on December 13, 2006, at 10:05 a.m. local time (3:05 UTC), while the storm’s center was still far off the Vietnamese shoreline. The storm system had the well-defined shape of a powerful typhoon, with a cloud-filled but quite distinct eye. Utor’s spiral cloud arms were bringing strong winds and rain over a wide area from southern China to Thailand and beyond, even with the typhoon’s center well offshore. Sustained winds were around 175 kilometers per hour (110 miles per hour), according to the University of Hawaii’s Tropical Storm Information Center.
