Super Typhoon Bavi Brings Fury to Guam and Pacific Islands Super Typhoon Bavi is bearing down on the Pacific island chain, threatening coastal communities with winds of up to 160 miles per hour and a storm surge that could inundate low lying areas.
Residents in the affected regions have been preparing for the worst, with authorities scrambling to evacuate residents and prepare emergency services.
Formation and Track The formation of Super Typhoon Bavi was fueled by warm ocean waters – about 1 2 degrees Celsius above average – in the Western Pacific.
