Sinlaku Intensifies Near Mariana Islands as Rare Pacific Triplet Cyclone Emerges
TL;DR Summary
Super Typhoon Sinlaku, a Category 5-equivalent storm with maximum sustained winds around 170 mph, is about 190 miles east of Guam and threatening the Northern Mariana Islands with devastating winds as it tracks north. The storm is the last of a rare set of triplet cyclones formed this month, a pattern potentially linked to a developing super El Niño; Sinlaku is expected to weaken somewhat but remain dangerous near Rota, Tinian and Saipan.
