1902–1919 Pacific typhoon seasons

(Redirected from 1904 Pacific typhoon season)

The following is a list of Pacific typhoon seasons from 1902 to 1919. Data from these years was extremely unreliable, so there were many more typhoons that did not hit land and were not detected by ships.

Boats washed a mile inland, in Kanto, Japan ca 1910.

A storm was first observed south of Guam on August 21 and moved on a westward trajectory. On August 26, the track shifted more to the west-northwest, bringing it over the Batanes islands offshore northern Luzon. That night, the storm approached southwest coast of Taiwan (then known as Formosa) with great intensity, possibly moving over the island. Kaohsiung reported a minimum pressure of 937 mbar (27.63 inHg), the lowest-ever recorded pressure on the island as of 1955, as well as maximum sustained winds of 177 km/h (110 mph) before the anemometer broke. Peak winds there were estimated around 251 km/h (156 mph), based on the severity of the airborne debris. Elsewhere on the island, the highest recorded wind speed was 196 km/h (122 mph). Across Taiwan, the typhoon destroyed over 30,000 houses, injured 378, and killed 305 people. The storm made landfall in eastern China on August 27 and continued northward for three more days.[8][9]
