Super Typhoon Goni smashed into the Philippines late Sunday with one-minute sustained winds to 195 mph and even higher gusts. This makes it not only the strongest tropical cyclone of the year, but ever on record to hit land anywhere in the world. The previous world record holders were Super Typhoons Haiyan and Meranti, both of which also struck the Philippines. Electrical poles are toppled due to strong winds from Typhoon Goni in Daet, Camarines Norte province, central Philippines, Sunday Nov. 1, 2020.
