US super typhoon: Category-five Bavi slams US Pacific islands

A 'super typhoon' has made landfall on United States territorial islands in the western Pacific near Guam, with authorities saying they have received reports of significant damage as powerful winds and torrential rain hit the Northern Mariana Islands. The eye of Super Typhoon Bavi passed over the island of Rota, bringing winds of more than 150mph, equivalent to a category-five hurricane, according to the US National Weather Service (NWS).
