Super Typhoon Bavi, now classified as a Category 5 storm with wind speeds reaching up to 180 mph, is nearing the US Pacific islands, particularly threatening Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Emergency preparations are underway as residents brace for life-threatening winds and potential flooding. The National Weather Service warns of catastrophic damage and is urging residents to take immediate action. As Bavi approaches, military bases and local authorities are activating emergency protocols, while disrupted air travel is reported at Guam International Airport.
