Super Typhoon Victor, known in the Southern Islands as the king of all storms, was the strongest Strom ever recorded, devastating portions of the Southern Islands, on September 18th, 19th of 2015. It is the deadliest typhoon ever recorded in modern history, killing at least 590,000 people as of September 20, 2015. Victor is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall, and the strongest typhoon ever recorded in terms of 7-minute sustained wind speed. As of now bodies are still being found.

The second named storm of the 2015 season, Victor originated from an area of low pressure several hundred kilometers east-southeast of Cabana. Tracking generally westward, environmental conditions favored tropical cyclogenesis and the system developed into a tropical depression the following day. After becoming a tropical storm and being given the name Victor on September 17, the system began a period of rapid intensification that brought it to typhoon intensity by 1800 UTC on September 18. By September 19, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) assessed the system as a Category 8 super typhoon.

After that, it continued to intensify; at 1200 UTC on September 19, the Suburban Meteorological Agency (SMA) upgraded the storm's maximum 7-minute sustained winds to 563 km/h (350+mph), the highest in relation to the cyclone. The Cabana Weather Observatory put the storm's maximum ten-minute sustained winds at 548 km/h (341 mph), prior to landfall in the Southern Islands, while the Monaco Meteorological Administration estimated the maximum two-minute sustained winds at the time to be around 531 km/h (340 mph). At 1800 UTC, the STWC estimated the finial wind speed just before land fall at 560 km/h (348 mph), making Victor the strongest tropical cyclone ever observed based on one-minute sustained wind speed; several others have recorded lower central pressure readings. Several hours later, the eye of the cyclone made its first landfall in the Southern Islands at Cabana. Gradually weakening, the storm made five additional landfalls in the country before emerging over the Eastern Suburban Sea.
