The largest Pacific tropical cyclone on record, and in fact the largest and most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the world, was Typhoon Tip in October 1979. At one point its panned nearly 1,400 miles across. This storm produced heavy rain on numerous small islands in the Pacific. It made landfall in Japan at category 1 intensity and caused damage in portions of Japan and China. Many docked ships and boats were destroyed and there was severe widespread flooding. A number of areas experience landslides triggered by the rainfall.
