Cyclone Nargis, which killed tens of thousands of people when it struck Burma (Myanmar) in May, was more devastating, but the title of “strongest storm of 2008” goes to Super Typhoon Jangmi, shown in this image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite from September 27, 2008. The image comes from the Earth Observatory’s new World of Change: Severe Storms feature, a collection of images of the strongest storm each year from the past decade.
