Possible Super Typhoon Threatens US Pacific Territories Still Recovering From Last Storm
Bavi could reach super typhoon strength as Guam and the Northern Marianas recover from Sinlaku, which left homes destroyed and power unrestored.
- On Friday, residents in U.S. western Pacific territories braced for Typhoon Bavi, forecast to reach the Marianas as a super typhoon by Sunday night to early Monday.
- Recovery efforts continue from Typhoon Sinlaku, which struck in April; some residents still live in tents after homes were destroyed, prompting fresh anxiety as another storm approaches.
- National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Stanko said Bavi could reach super typhoon status, defined as 150 mph sustained winds, by Monday amid increased Pacific hurricane activity driven by El Nino.
- Some residents hope Guam takes the brunt of the storm to spare neighbors in Saipan, while The Rev. Francis Hezel of Santa Barbara Catholic Church in Dededo, Guam, expressed hope Bavi changes course.
- Hezel noted that "this is getting to be the normal thing now, typhoon preparedness," as residents cover windows and store gasoline amid a warming globe intensifying extreme weather patterns.
