West Pacific Typhoon Trifecta (Updated)

Fourth system?
Further review of the current information available led to the discovery on Google Earth imagery of a fourth system in the extremely active West Pacific tropical cyclone season this week. Leading to further confusion is the naming of the systems. According to GE 0600z imagery, the fourth system (Twenty-one) has a totally seperate path from Tropical Storm 21w (a.k.a. Higos and Pablo).

On the main island of the Ryukyu Archipelago, Okinawa, wind gusts howl and residents await for the brunt of  Tropical Storm Jangmi as the system skirts the otherwise relatively dry landmass. Weather advisories for thunderstorms and extreme rainfall (via JMA) have been issued for various parts of the islands and mainland Japan. 

In less than one day, Jangmi became only one of the players in the West Pacific tropical cyclone stage.  Two more players popped on the scene within the past 24hrs.  The second system Mikkhala threatens Vietnam and the latest cyclone Higos (a..k.a Pablo) snuck up on the Phillipines.  

Here are some satellite images (via NOAA) of the triple West Pacific threat:
