Yes, but first a minor point of correction. When in the Pacific the storms are generally referred to as Tropical Cyclones or Typhoons.

That said as the Allied advance reached into the heart of Japanese territory in 1944 it also entered the traditional path of many of the storms. The most famous of these storms came in December 1944 and was named Typhoon Cobra. That fall had seen American forces land once again in the Philippines to begin taking the territory back from it's Japanese occupiers. To that end the Philippine Sea became a major thoroughfare for the USN. With few units as active as the famed massed Fast Carrier Force, at the time designated Task Force 38 under McCain as part of Halseys 3rd Fleet.

While launching strikes on ground targets in December poor communication, evolving meteorology, a need to refuel, and some bad luck all combined. The result being the 100 ships that undrewrote American naval supremacy were in the middle of a major storm. By the end 800 men were dead, 3 destroyers sunk, and over a dozen other ships took various other damage and scores of aircraft lost overboard.

A Court of Inquiry while finding Halsey had exercised poor leadership in the risking of the fleet in worsening conditions stopped there. Soon after the normal transformation of the force into TF58 and transfer of Command to Spruance went through and the fleet prepared for the next major landing on Iwo Jima in February 1945. In May 1945 with Halsey rotated back in the fleet the fleet weathered another storm named Connie. This time with much more limited damage but a pattern was no established. A second Court suggested to Nimitz that perhaps Halsey ought to go ashore but he rejected the move Halsey led the Carriers till the end of the war in August.

Immediately post was another storm also tore through Okinawa and the bases and fleet anchorage there. But again the destruction was much less than Cobra.
