Forecasting fun with Jeanne

Ferocious Typhoon Dujuan slammed Guangdong Province in southeastern China killing at least 38 people and injuring about 1,000 others. The storm packed winds of 89 miles per hour as it approached China's coast. Dujuan barreled across several major cities, destroying thousands of homes. It's the most destructive storm to rip through the region in nearly a quarter of a century. The typhoon lost its punch as it moved over land and was downgraded to a tropical storm with winds below 74 mph (119 km/h).

Earlier in the week, Dujuan raked Taiwan with pounding rains and howling winds, killing two people. It cut power to more than a half million homes. Dujuan then took aim at Hong Kong, which shut down businesses, schools, and air traffic as the island's residents nervously watched the storm's approach. Although the storm brought huge waves, knocked out power, and triggered floods and mudslides, Hong Kong was spared the brunt of the storm's fury.

The Hong Kong Observatory reported the typhoon was unusual in that it appeared to have two eyes Normally, a typhoon's winds swirl around a single eye, the area of lowest pressure at the storm's center.

they have a picture too:
