Super Typhoon Vanessa(1984)
Super Typhoon Forrest developed in the Western Pacific Ocean in September over the open ocean. It was the fastest-developing tropical cyclone on record, with a pressure drop of 92 mbar in a 24 hour period, a record broken by Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Forrest struck Japan as a tropical storm on the 28th, causing 21 casualties and moderate damage. Moving west-northwest, Vanessa continued to strengthen, becoming a super typhoon. Super Typhoon Vanessa was the strongest typhoon of the season, reaching wind speeds of 185 mph over the open waters of the West Pacific. At its peak, it had a pressure of 879 mb, only 9 millibars higher than the record-setting Typhoon Tip of 1979. Its central pressure fell 100 mb in 48 hours. The intense cyclone recurved on [[October 27] and October 28 as a cold front approached from the northwest. Vanessa slowly merged with the frontal boundary, becoming a storm-force extratropical cyclone late on October 30
