Storms
Please note that on the following list, storms are listed by Tropical Depression number, and therefore Saola (18W), which is on the naming list before Damrey (17W), is listed after Damrey, having been the later storm to form, despite being the earlier to attain Tropical Storm status. Also, windspeed advisories differ from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center to the Japan Meteorological Agency as the JTWC uses the U.S. criteria of 1 minute mean to designate maximum sustained winds, while the JMA uses the 10-minute mean wind criteria to designate tropical cyclone maximum sustained winds. This difference generally means that JTWC maximum winds will appear to be higher than the maximum winds described by the JMA for the same cyclone.

Famous quotes containing the word storms:
“It’s the set of the soul that decides the goal,
And not the storms or the strife.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)
“An old man, broken with the storms of state,
Is come to lay his weary bones among ye:
Give him a little earth for charity.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
