but at its peak, it had sustained winds of 195 miles per hour with some gusts to 235 miles per hour possibly having a storm surge maybe 20 to 30 feet when it came onshore. we are going to have to find out more about that as we get in and see what kind of damage it did. still right no maintaining 165 miles per hour strength so still a super typhoon with gusts at 200 miles per hour expected to move back out over the open waters maybe weakening slightly as it approaches vietnam but hitting as a major hurricane there or typhoon weakening to a category 2. a deada deadly storm. cate caugiran has more. >> reporter: four people are dead already in what could be strongest storm ever recorded moving across the philippines. we know that some 25 million people are in the path of the storm. and the level of devastation is expected to be immense. reporter: the closest comparison the west can make to
