What is Typhoon Ike?
'''Typhoon Ike''' was an incredibly damaging, deadly and catastropic super [[typhoon]] that caused in excess of 1400 lives lost and extreme damage. This typhoon crossed over the [[Philippines]] and eastern [[China]] in late August/early September 1984. The storm carried winds matching Category 4 [[hurricane]] level. The name '''Ike''' was then retired from use because of its impact over the area.{{Infobox weather event | image = [[File:Ike_1984-09-04_0753Z.png]] | caption = Ike On september 4 1984 in the [[South China sea]] | as = Typhoon Ike (Nitang) | date = August 26-September 6 1984 | formed = August 26 1984 | crossed-over = [[Philippines]] | name = Typhoon Ike (Nitang) }}{{Infobox weather event/JMA | winds = 90 | gusts = 484 | pressure = 947 }}{{Infobox weather event/SSHWS | agency = [[JTWC]] | winds = 125 | gusts = | pressure = 1848 }}{{Infobox weather event/Effects | casualties = 1,474 Total | deaths = 1474 | damage = 230000000 | areas = [[Northern Mariana Islands]] [[Philippines]] [[China]] | refs = }}{{Infobox weather event/Footer | season = [[1984 Pacific typhoon season]] }} {{weather-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ike}} [[Category:1984 in Asia]] [[Category:1980s in the Philippines]] [[Category:History of the People's Republic of China]] [[Category:Deadly storms]] [[Category:Retired tropical cyclone names]] [[Category:1980s in weather]] [[Category:Typhoons in the Philippines]] [[category:Tropical cyclones in Asia]] [[Category:Pacific typhoons]]
