The space station's monitoring deck had no fewer than five people observing this storm that had only recently formed.
Based solely on its influence range, the PO37 storm wasn't considered large, not even comparable to several tropical cyclones they encountered before, let alone the level of a super typhoon, which it was far from.
But under the central system's computations of the "Butterfly Project," PO37 had broken multiple conventional standards and indeed warranted more attention.
This storm overall may not seem significant, yet its formation process defied the norm, and its energy level kept soaring at an astonishingly rapid pace.
Just when you thought it was about to stabilize, it ascended again with another energy intake!
The speed was so fast and the momentum so fierce; it was shocking!
