Supertaifun „Sinlaku“ trifft US-Außengebiet mit voller Wucht
Der #Supertaifun #Sinlaku hat die Nördlichen #Marianen im #Westpazifik mit voller Wucht getroffen und Augenzeugen zufolge schwere Schäden verursacht. Anwohner berichteten von hüfthohem #Hochwasser und schweren Verwüstungen. Ganze Inselteile des Tropenparadieses seien zerstört, berichtete die Online-Zeitung „Pacific Daily News“.
Der Sturm erreichte nach Angaben des lokalen Wetterdienstes Windgeschwindigkeiten von mehr als 210 Kilometer pro Stunde, als er in der Nacht (Ortszeit) auf die besonders betroffenen Inseln #Saipan und #Tinian traf. Hunderte, möglicherweise Tausende Menschen seien obdachlos, hieß es.

Sinlaku’s outer bands lash Marianas; conditions worsening tonight
#Typhoon Warning: #Rota, #Tinian, #Saipan, #Guam, #Pagan, #Alamagan, #Agrihan
According to observation sites, gusts of 54 MPH and 61 MPH were reported at Guam and Saipan, respectively, in the last hour. The maximum sustained winds near the center are 180 miles per hour, meaning STY #Sinlaku remains at a Category 5, and is moving west-northwest at 9 miles per hour.
The onset of tropical storm-force winds is expected to reach Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan now, if not, tonight. Typhoon-force winds are expected to start reaching Rota, Tinian, and Saipan Tuesday or Tuesday afternoon. Heavy rainfall with locally higher showers and isolated thunderstorms poses flash flooding and lightning threats to the entire region. Seas and surf are building to dangerous levels, with maximum wave heights of 21.52 feet at Ipan Buoy and 13.58 at Tanapag Buoy as of this issuance. Significant coastal inundation is expected for the entire region.
