Typhoon Cora, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Ibiang, was a moderately strong typhoon that caused significant impacts in Japan and the Caroline Islands during the 1969 Pacific typhoon season. Tropical Depression 09W formed on August 12, 1969, 2 days after Typhoon Betty (Huling) dissipated. The depression intensified into Tropical Storm Cora on August 14 and had later intensified into Typhoon Cora 4 days later. Cora made landfall in the Ryukyu Islands on August 19 right after the storm intensified into Category 2 status. Okinawa Island received minor damage. After making landfall in Kyushu–Honshu,[1] Cora transitioned into a extratropical state and finished on August 21. Cora dissipated on August 23, 1969.
