Well away from land, Typhoon Vamco moved north over the Pacific Ocean on August 20, 2009, gradually building steam. When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this image at 00:05 UTC, the storm had sustained winds of 195 kilometres per hour, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Centre. Forecasters expected the typhoon to continue to strengthen into a Category 4 Super Typhoon by August 21. The storm was not expected to hit land.
