Summary
A cyclone becomes a super typhoon when it has maximum sustained winds of 150 mph or stronger. The cyclone is forecast to be a category five super typhoon with winds that could reach 180 miles per hour and gusts of 215 miles per hour, Montvila said. Bavi, a massive cyclone approaching the Mariana Islands east of the Philippines , was forecast to strike Rota early Monday morning local time, National Weather Service meteorologist Edwin Montvila said. “They are currently already encountering catastrophic wind,” he said of Rota, a territory of fewer than 2,000 people northeast of Guam, adding that an extreme wind warning was in effect for the island.
Furthermore, Residents of Guam and surrounding U.S. island territories in the western Pacific were urged to take shelter as Super Typhoon Bavi was expected to make landfall early Monday, threatening an area still recovering from another destructive storm earlier this year. Utility poles and associated power lines will be down,” Montvila said. “All those would pose a risk to life, so we recommend people to not venture out and hunker down.” Bavi was moving at a relatively fast pace Monday morning, which gave officials hope that it would pass quickly, Montvila said. In addition to Rota, typhoon warnings were in effect for Guam, Tinian and Saipan, while tropical storm warnings and watches were in place for other islands in the area.
In addition, Bavi posed an "imminent danger to life," Montvila said, with the weather service telling residents across the islands to immediately move to interior rooms where they were sheltering and stay away from windows. Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero urged people to stay home or at a shelter and to avoid the roads. Most seek shelter but some hit the waves The two US territories are home to a combined 210,000 people, but the islands' streets were largely deserted on Sunday afternoon as people heeded official advice to seek shelter.
Moreover, Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months." Flash flood warnings were also in effect for Saipan and Tinian in the Northern Marianas, the NWS said.
