By Ellie Zolfagharifard A procession of ferocious storms has been lining up across the Pacific Ocean, with three of the most deadly set to hit land. A spectacular satellite image this morning revealed an unsettled Earth with Typhoon Halong, Hurricane Genevieve, Hurricane Iselle, and Hurricane Julion simultaneously churning up the ocean. The image, taken at 00:00 UTC (1:00 BST), shows the storms far from land – but they have since travelled and are about to unleash their force on Hawaii and Japan. The Pacific Ocean hosts a quartet of tropical cyclones - from left to right - Typhoon Halong, Hurricane Genevieve (which kept travelling west to become Typhoon Genevieve), Hurricane Iselle, and Hurricane Julio

'I can't remember the last time when there were four storms of such intensity travelling the Pacific Ocean at the same time,' Julian Heming, a tropical prediction scientist told MailOnline
'Ocean temperatures in the @placeholder are a little bit above average and that has helped storms to strengthen the storms a bit more,' he added.
