Super Typhoon Angela (known in the Philippines as Typhoon Rosing; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon..., was a catastrophic Category 5 typhoon with 180 mph (290 km/h) sustained winds.

The monsoon trough that developed also Yvette and Zack spawned another tropical depression on October 25 in conjunction with a tropical disturbance that originated in the Marshall Islands. It moved to the west, organizing very slowly to become a tropical storm on October 26.[1] Two days later Angela became a typhoon, and from the October 31 to November 1 Angela rapidly intensified to a 180 mph (290 km/h) super typhoon, while Japan Meteorological Agency reported that it had reached its peak wind speeds of 130 mph (210 km/h). It maintained that intensity as it moved westward, hitting the Philippines on November 2 as a slightly weaker 160 mph (260 km/h) typhoon.[2] Angela continued to the westnorthwest, where upper level winds caused it to dissipate on November 7 over the Gulf of Tonkin.[3]

Angela caused 9.33 billion Philippine pesos (1995 pesos) in catastrophic damage across the Philippines, resulting in 882 fatalities. It was the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines in 25 years.
