Typhoons Mindulle and Tingting spin side by side in the Pacific Ocean on June 30, 2004. Mindulle left seven dead and two missing after it scraped across the Philippines on June 29 with winds reaching up to 173 miles per hour.

When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite snapped this image the next day, the maximum wind speed had slowed to 125 miles per hour. Mindulle appears to be moving towards Taiwan and the eastern coast of China, shown in the upper left corner of this image.

On June 29 and 30, Typhoon Tingting was dumping heavy rain on Guam and the Northern Marianas. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center reported that the storm had maximum sustained winds of 75 miles per hour with gusts up to 92 miles per hour.

This true-color MODIS image was acquired on June 30, 2004. It is available in multiple resolutions from the MODIS Rapid Response Team at Goddard Space Flight Center. TV Resolution and High Resolution images are provided in the right sidebar.
