Super Typhoon Bavi, described as a category-5 hurricane-equivalent storm, affects U.S. Pacific territories as residents across Guam and the Northern Marianas prepare for and respond to damaging winds and heavy rain. Multiple reports say the storm is “very dangerous” and bring life-threatening conditions, with authorities urging sheltering, boarding up homes, and using emergency evacuation centers. Deutsche Welle and other outlets report that heavy rains and high winds batter Guam and the Northern Marianas as the storm moves through the region. Media citing the Joint Typhoon Warning Center report very high sustained winds and extreme gusts as the system approaches, and note that the forecast tracks indicate severe impact. Washington Times and others report expectations of landfall in the area and warn that power disruptions could last for weeks or months. After passing the U.S. islands, Bavi is forecast to continue westward toward Asia. Other coverage says Taiwan, Japan’s southern islands, and parts of southeastern China brace for the storm, including preparations such as evacuations and shutdowns. Additional reporting also links the broader weather disruption to deadly landslides in the Philippines, with deaths reported there during Bavi’s impact phase.
