The U.S. Coast Guard issued flood and high wind warnings over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The tropical typhoon \u2014 the strongest on Earth so far this year \u2014 was producing sustained winds of 173 mph (278 kph) on Monday as it neared the islands of Rota, Tinian and Saipan, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">While it&#8217;s expected to weaken slightly over the next few days, Sinlaku should cross near the islands as a Category 4 or 5 typhoon. <\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">In Guam, where Typhoon Mawar knocked out power for days in 2023, U.S. military officials warned personnel to prepare for the storm and shelter in place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">President Donald Trump on Saturday approved emergency disaster declarations for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, allowing for additional help with emergency services. <\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">A super typhoon is a name given to the strongest tropical cyclones that brew in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, where Earth\u2019s most intense storms usually form. <\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN \">Monitored by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Guam, super typhoons are the equivalent of category 4 or 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic, with winds of at least 150 mph (240 kph). There have been more than 300 super typhoons identified since the warning center started using that name in 1947.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/US\/wireStory\/monster-typhoon-pacific-ocean-bearing-group-remote-us-131995576\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dangerous super typhoon in the Pacific Ocean is barreling toward a group of remote U.S. islands.
