Super Typhoon Bavi hits US Pacific islands

Super Typhoon Bavi struck the U.S. Pacific Island territories of Guam and the Northern Marianas, bringing catastrophic winds and heavy rainfall. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), Bavi made landfall on Rota, the southernmost island of the Marianas, with winds reaching 180 mph (290 kph). The storm is classified as a Category 4 or 5 typhoon, capable of causing extensive damage, including structural destruction, power outages, and flash flooding. The NWS issued urgent warnings advising residents to take immediate shelter due to the extreme danger posed by the storm's eyewall. While most residents sought safety, a small number of individuals, such as surfers, remained outdoors despite the hazardous conditions. The region is still recovering from the earlier impact of Super Typhoon Sinlaku, which caused significant disruptions and ongoing power issues.
