Typhoon Wayne (international designation: 8614, JTWC designation: 12W, PAGASA name: Miding) is the longest-lived tropical cyclone on record for the western Pacific ocean. The system meandered for 22 days between the South China sea and far western tropical North Pacific ocean, staying within the monsoon trough and causing heavy rains across the Philippines, Taiwan, southeast China, Hainan Island, and Vietnam. Its maximum sustained winds peaked at category two strength on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Various signals were raised for Hong Kong three times due to Wayne`s unusual track. A total of 490 perished and US$399 million (1986 dollars) in damage was due to the typhoon.
