The 'Super Typhoon' is currently over the Pacific Ocean, and is expected to hit the Northern Philippines on April 4th.
The folks on board The International Space station have taken some incredible pictures and video of it and frankly, they're f**king terrifying.
It's expected to reach winds of over 160mph, officially making it a Category 5 Super Typhoon.

Looking down into the eye - by far the widest one I’ve seen. It seemed like a black hole from a Sci-Fi movie #Maysak pic.twitter.com/hmdBStaY6r
