Footage From SUPER Typhoon Bavi! One Of The Strongest Storms To Ever Hit Asia!

James Kauffman, World News Report Today. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Bavi, the super typhoon. This is not the strongest typhoon ever recorded, but it's very close. We've had winds sustained up to 185 miles an hour, with gusts up to 225-plus miles an hour. This has calmed down a bit. It's already crushed the Philippines way down here. it's already crushed taiwan it's starting to crush china it's already crushed all these japanese islands out here the winds are currently down to and this is going to be 92 miles an hour and that is sustained with gusts up to about 135 miles an hour And it was much, much stronger just a day ago I don't know if it's going to strengthen or what it's going to do But I want to show y'all that it's only moved between the 3rd and the 15th It's only moved this far So the flooding is extreme I have pictures that y'all are not going to believe It's spawning tornadoes left and right This is going to be a complete disaster for all these Japanese islands. It already has been for all the outer islands out here, where it was really, really whipping it up. And I'll show you the winds out there. This thing is moving so slow that it'll tomorrow only be here, and by the 12th be here, by the 13th probably be in South Korea. Currently still offshore, headed towards China, then South Korea. I'm going to show you all pictures you won't believe. Ladies and gentlemen, you all saw how far the Philippines was to the south of this thing. And here we see that it already took 15 lives in the Philippines. And look at all the evacuations. I have tons of photos or videos. I won't believe it. Stick around for a second and take a look at one of the strongest storms in history. This is going to be Typhoon Bavi in the Philippines here. Let's see. Well, you can see the Philippines are way down here. This is Taiwan, but it's still affecting the Philippines like that. As Super Typhoon Bavi approaches residents in Taiwan, Japan, and China who've been stockpiling supplies, closing businesses, hundreds of fishing boats have rushed back to port to try to shelter from this storm, Well, flights and ferries have all been canceled. Look at this thing. And for East Asia, just a taste. Wait until you all see what it looked like when it was headed over Guam. Obviously, the shelves will be empty soon. They're trying to board up for it. There's been a couple that have been stronger than this, but just a couple in recorded history. Here we have ground winds of 150 miles an hour, gusts up to 215 miles an hour, on the outer islands. unbelievable catastrophic every single home was completely destroyed we do have a fly over the drone after this i don't know if i can play it but there's nothing left on the island just boards where the homes used to be personally i've never seen anything like it now we're looking at a butterfly tide tide is pushing from two directions up a beach here and it's creating butterfly wings on either side here driven by typhoon bavi a rare butterfly tide appeared up the Guangdong river two tidal waves rushed together their fronts opening up like butterfly wings. A central vortex of white foam sketched the body of the butterfly. As you can see, I've never seen anything like this. It says Bobby has arrived in China. It really has not. Just the outer bands. Look at the flooding in China. It's unbelievable. Those are pigs trying to stay afloat. Sad situation here. Swimming about, looking for someplace to go. nobody's helping them they're everywhere unbelievable it's gonna be a complete catastrophe gotta open that fence this is supposed to be in China but we see that it's not really supposed to even hit China until 11 maybe the 12th this is the outer bands look at the rain associated with this they're not even dealing with the wind yet not even dealing with the winds this is the surge look at this it's tough tough the handle for sure a lot more where this came from hold on for a bit look at the water here unbelievable how many homes have been swept away boys and gentlemen that is a lot of water here we are we need a rescue we have two on the roof here no choppers anywhere inside look at the water they're so lucky that that home that particular home has not washed away it looks very well built they should be so frightened look how high the water is these are the telephone poles they must be on the second or third floor here maybe higher so the telephone pole is here not any kind of water you want to get in with those lines down as you can see right into the water unbelievable we need a helicopter rescue asap here and unbelievably although the Philippines seem so far away from the central pressure it's such a large typhoon this is the philippines again completely flooded inside and out i'm talking about a large system here. Extremely large, to say the very least. Inside and out, full of water. Nothing. Nothing is salvageable here. This is ongoing through the 13th or 14th for sure. We do have some tornadoes that we have pictures of as well here. We haven't even reached, look, we haven't even reached Taiwan yet. And look how much of the Philippines has basically been hit but these are just the strongest winds the system is so large that most all the philippines was hit and taiwan's already been hit and mainland's already been hit but when this part of the system gets into play and again we're here we're here it's gonna be a ---- show we're gonna have a lot of fatalities on this one i have yet to see something this strong come to especially this slowly the red box is your tornado warning box and you can see it is big we have some tornadoes here all right this is mainly in china happening right now it's nighttime there these are tornadoes already hitting the island and well the central part of this storm and even the strong part of this storm won't touch china for another 40 hours the size of that tornado look inside electrical just completely down is filming always a great time to film and see that this is nothing to mess with whatsoever we've got a couple of them I think here another huge tornado on the mainland in China wow look at the size of this thing look at the destruction everything is just gone they're saying that this is mainland China doesn't look like it's reached that far but you see it on a map and we'll take a look at on a map it's just so large just so very large here is an idea go to windy.com and take a look at it these are some of the islands that are no longer with us i believe that's Guam we do have a military base there i have no idea well what happened there no film coming out of there and actually uh i didn't know this was going down they're calling for 11 more people that perished in China and that's inland to the two tornadoes this is i guess the second one here wreaked havoc on these provinces wow so much electrical going out that one building still lit up with all of its electricity which is unbelievable all right you can see that it's actually hitting Philippines pretty good with this tail down here i mean this thing's huge it's yet to really hit that one it's hitting taiwan right about now it looks like it's barely touching some of the provinces here in china and we're seeing all that flooding tornado because the water being pushed up in these areas the tornadoes are not helping they run the last few hours here so we're going to be able to do last hour we don't get to see much here so a little bit of rotation over the last hour it's going to take taiwan completely out it looks like anyway guys i wanted to show y'all bobby one of the strongest typhoons to ever hit asia again there have been a few stronger ones but this is up there in the top god bless you guys say a prayer for all these people they definitely need it i can't believe that it reached almost all all of the philippines was hit by the tail here as you can see the lightning light up there and it's really yet to make the landfall although we're seeing heavy flooding in these chinese provinces here and to tornadoes please share and give us a thumbs up and remember this is all possible along with anything in bizarro world god bless you guys
