Good grief!

Typhoon Kong-Rey is really living up to its name here, folks. The IKE on this thing must be insane. Deep intense ring of convection around a massive 55 nm eye with strong mesovorticies rotating around the inside of the eyewall. The sheer size of the low-level and mid-level vortex combined with such intensity is critical. It's just a different breed of TC in the WPAC, even if the size of this one is still kind of rare to be so strong. It's hard to fathom a TC this large being in the GOM. The storm surge alone would surpass 30 feet along the NGOM coast.

You could fit the entire wind field of Oscar inside the eye of this one

There's a small.village on the south end of a bay that is now in the western eyewall and will soon be in the eye. I'd bet they took a devastating storm surge.

With the Eye going directly over then may have missed the worst of the surge. The small villages on the north end of the island on the other hand...

JRWC is forecasting it to make landfall on the N coast of Mozambique, still as a strong cyclone.

Chido is slang for “cool” in Mexican Spanish.

Holy shit that thing ramped up quickly 
Yeah, someone got hit hard. A rapidly intensifying landfall per ADT analysis. Hopefully, it avoided a major population center. That looks to be the case as the small core came ashore a good distance south of the port city of Pemba.
