Part of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season
Typhoon Utor, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Labuyo, was a powerful, deadly and destructive tropical cyclone that struck the Philippines and southern China. Utor, contributed by United States for squall line, the 15th depression, the 2nd typhoon and the first super typhoon in the 2013 Pacific typhoon season. Utor started originating near Yap, tracking westwards in a favorable development, allowing the system to be better organized. All agencies have upgraded the system as a depression, with JTWC designated as Tropical Depression 11W and PAGASA naming the depression as Labuyo. Continuing westwards, JMA named 11W as Utor as it continues to consolidate.
Developing into a tropical storm on August 9, Utor soon underwent explosive intensification and became a Category 4 super typhoon within a half day. After making landfall over Casiguran, Aurora in Luzon late on August 11. Utor lost its pin-hole eye after having its land interaction. The typhoon re-emerged in the South China Sea, and it ultimately made its second landfall over Yangxi County in China on August 14. Utor downgraded into a depression on the next day as it moved slowly over Guangxi. The remnant low later dissipated on August 18.
