Here are the latest satellite images of the super typhoon Bopha aka Pablo that is currently making a landfall in the Philippines. The images were taken by the NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP satellite’s VIIRS instrument around 0435Z on December 3, 2012.

I posted few useful links below if you want to track the movement of the typhoon through loops of the latest satellite images. I suggest you visit the links for the updated images!

To all Filipinos, especially to my family and friends back home in the Philippines, be safe.
