1881 season
[edit]
There were 22 tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific in 1881, 21 of which intensified into typhoons.[1]
In October, a powerful typhoon hit what is now the Philippines, before curving around Hainan Island and devastating Haiphong, Vietnam. In the Philippines, the typhoon is the deadliest in its history, with 20,000 fatalities recorded.[2] Another 3,000 people were killed in Haiphong; there were reports that up to 300,000 people were killed by the typhoon in Haiphong – which would tie it with the 1839 Coringa cyclone as the second deadliest tropical cyclone on record – but this would prove to be erroneous, as Haiphong only had a population of less than 20,000 at that time.[3]
