At just 32 square miles in area,animated sex videos the island of Itbayat in the Philippines presents a small target for massive storms to strike. However, early on Wednesday morning, local time, Super Typhoon Meranti proved that being a small target in a big sea does not offer protection from the worst storms.

Super Typhoon Meranti -- the strongest storm on Earth in 2016 so far -- swallowed Itbayat whole within its cavernous eye.

This means the island took a ferocious hit from two sides of the storm's eyewall, where its most intense winds and some of the heaviest rains are located.

The island is technically the first landfall point for Super Typhoon Meranti (known as "Ferdie" in the Philippines), which is expected to swipe southern Taiwan throughout much of the day Wednesday, local time, before making a second landfall in China, between Shantou and Xiamen.

The storm is massive, making the island's predicament all the more unusual.

Because of likely storm damage to the sparse infrastructure on the island, along with continued windy and rainy conditions, it may be at least a day before the fate of the nearly 3,000 residents of Itbayat is known.

From there, the storm is likely to bring hurricane force conditions in southern Taiwan, including Khaesong City, which is the second-largest city on the island.
