Strongest storm on planet bearing down on U.S. islands in Western Pacific
A super typhoon is bearing down on American islands in the Pacific.
Super Typhoon Sinlaku intensified into the strongest storm on the planet this year Sunday, packing sustained winds of 180 mph and gusts as high as 220 mph as it tracked toward a chain of U.S.-held islands in the Western Pacific. For the roughly 50,000 people living on Rota, Tinian and Saipan, the next 48 hours could be catastrophic.
The Northern Mariana Islands are an unincorporated U.S. territory about 6,000 miles west of San Francisco, closer to Tokyo than to Honolulu. The people who live there are American citizens, and they are about to take a direct hit from a storm equivalent to a strong Category 4 or Category 5 hurricane.

A super typhoon is taking aim at several remote U.S. islands in the Pacific Ocean, lashing Guam with heavy rain and tropical storm-force wind gusts hours before its arrival.
Super Typhoon Sinlaku is on track to barrel over the Northern Mariana Islands late Tuesday local time with widespread rain and flooding along with destructive winds that could cause lengthy power outages, the National Weather Service said.
Guam, a U.S. territory with several American military installations and about 170,000 residents, isn’t expected to take a direct hit but still could see damaging winds.
The tropical typhoon — the strongest on Earth so far this year — was producing sustained winds of 173 mph on Monday as it neared the islands of Rota, Tinian and Saipan, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
