"kamikaze." These winds were believed to protect Japan from invasions, particularly the Mongol invasions in the 13th century. The term later became associated with the suicide attacks by Japanese pilots during World War II.
Typhoon Sendong had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, while Typhoon Ondoy had maximum winds of 75-80 mph. Both typhoons were of similar strength, but the impact of a typhoon can vary based on factors like rainfall and topography in the affected areas.
A storm must have sustained winds of at least 74 mph to be considered a typhoon.

In the Northern Hemisphere, typhoon winds blow counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, they blow clockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation.

The Mongol invasions of Vietnam and Japan in the 13th century resulted in significant resistance from both regions. In Vietnam, the Mongols faced fierce opposition from the Trần dynasty, which successfully repelled their invasions in 1258 and 1288, solidifying Vietnam's independence. In Japan, the Mongols launched two failed invasions in 1274 and 1281, both thwarted by samurai warriors and typhoons known as "kamikaze," or divine winds, which destroyed much of the Mongol fleets. These events reinforced national identities in both regions and demonstrated the limitations of Mongol expansion.
During the Mongol invasions of Japan in the 13th century, the Japanese received significant help from typhoons, famously known as "kamikaze" or "divine winds," which destroyed much of the Mongol fleet. The first invasion in 1274 was met with a storm that severely damaged the Mongol ships, and the second invasion in 1281 faced a similar fate, leading to substantial losses for the Mongol forces. Additionally, the Japanese samurai demonstrated strong resistance and tactical defense strategies, contributing to their success in repelling the invasions.
The possessive form of the noun typhoon is typhoon's.Example: The typhoon's winds were very strong.

Twice, Typhoon winds destroyed the Mongol fleet. The main reason why the Mongols failed their intended invasion of the Japanese islands was due to monsoons. The divine winds, or kamikaze, are credited with the Mongol's retreat after losing 75% of its troops. Plus the Mongals main tactic of using cavalry was made impotent when they could not get beyond the beach. Also the Samurai DaikyūLong-Bows were much more effective and shot arrows twice as far as the Mongols Short-Bows more suitable for horse Archery. the first Mongol invasion took place in 1274. More than 600 ships carried a combined Mongol, Chinese, and Korean force of 23,000 troops armed with catapults, combustible missiles, and bows and arrows. In fighting, these soldiers grouped in close cavalry formations against samurai, who were accustomed to one-on-one combat. Local Japanese forces at Hakata, on northern Kyushu, defended against the superior mainland force, which, after one day of fighting was decimated by the onslaught of a sudden typhoon. Khubilai realized that nature, not military incompetence, had been the cause of his forces' failure so, in 1281, he launched a second invasion. Seven weeks of fighting took place in northwestern Kyushu before another typhoon struck, again destroying the Mongol fleet. .
