English: The Suomi NPP satellite acquired this image of
Typhoon Bopha around 01:12 local time on December 4 (17:12 UTC on December 3). Bopha remained a powerful typhoon as it made landfall on Mindanao, retaining a distinct eye and spiral shape as storm clouds stretched over the eastern part of the island. It was the deadliest tropical cyclone worldwide in 2012.
