Summary

Description
English: The natural-color image below was acquired on October 21, 2015 by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite. It shows flooding along the Pampanga River as well as discolored waters where the muddy runoff flushed out into Manila Bay. The mountainous terrain of the island of Luzon often exacerbates the flooding and landslide hazards from storms. The outer edges of Koppu began encroaching on The Philippines on October 16, and the category 4 super typhoon made landfall on the island of Luzon on October 18 with winds of 130 knots (150 miles or 240 kilometers per hour). The storm then slowly tracked northward, turning east again on October 20. As of October 21, the remnants of the storm were lingering just north of Luzon in the South China Sea. (Note: The storm is called Lando in The Philippines, which has its own naming system.)
