Super Typhoon Sinlaku could bring significant impacts to US islands in Pacific Ocean

Forecasters warned of destructive Category 4-5 winds, flooding and lengthy outages as officials prepared emergency support for about 50,000 residents.

  • On Tuesday, Super Typhoon Sinlaku is expected to make landfall in the Northern Mariana Islands, generating sustained winds of 173 mph and widespread flooding, according to the National Weather Service.
  • About 50,000 residents live on the islands, with most on Saipan, a region resident Glen Hunter describes as 'Typhoon Alley' where many are sheltering in place.
  • President Donald Trump approved emergency disaster declarations for the Northern Mariana Islands on Saturday, while the Federal Emergency Management Agency dispatched almost 100 staff and activated a $3.6 billion relief fund.
  • Guam, a U.S. territory with about 170,000 residents and military installations, remains under a tropical storm warning as forecasters warn of potential lengthy power cuts and damaging winds.
  • This super typhoon is the strongest to hit the region so far this year, marking one of more than 300 such storms identified by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center since 1947.
