Super Typhoon Bavi is approaching the Mariana Islands, including Guam, with catastrophic winds and heavy rainfall.
The storm is expected to make landfall near Rota early Monday morning local time, bringing sustained winds of up to 290 km/h (180 mph) and gusts reaching 346 km/h (215 mph).

Impact & Risks

The storm poses a severe threat to life and property across the Mariana Islands, particularly in Rota, Guam, Tinian, and Saipan. Winds of this magnitude can cause widespread destruction, including structural damage, uprooted trees, and power outages. Flying debris and downed utility poles present additional hazards. Torrential rains are expected to exacerbate the situation, potentially leading to flooding and landslides. The region is still recovering from the impacts of Super Typhoon Sinlaku, which adds to the vulnerability of affected communities.
