Super Typhoon Bavi was churning across the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean on Monday, hammering Guam, Tinian, and Saipan while unleashing catastrophic winds on Rota, according to the U.S. National Weather Service.
Officials warned residents across the island chain to seek shelter immediately as the powerful Category 5 storm made its way through the region. The affected islands include the U.S. commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. territory of Guam, located roughly 3,800 miles west of Hawaii and about 1,550 miles east of the Philippines.
The weather service reported that Bavi’s eyewall was projected to come ashore at Rota shortly after sunrise local time, bringing what forecasters described as “catastrophically destructive” winds reaching up to 180 miles per hour. Wind gusts as high as 215 mph were considered possible.
Rota, the southernmost island in the Northern Mariana Islands chain, is home to approximately 2,000 residents.
The neighboring islands of Guam, Tinian, and Saipan were forecast to endure conditions ranging from severe tropical storm to full typhoon strength on Monday, with winds expected to gradually decrease afterward.
Heavy rainfall accompanied the storm, with the weather service projecting 12 to 20 inches of rain near the storm’s center, significantly raising the danger of flash flooding that could persist through Tuesday night.
The U.S. island territories serve as a critical military hub in the western Pacific, home to several key installations including Andersen Air Force Base, Naval Base Guam, and Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz.
Evacuation centers were opened throughout Guam in preparation for the storm. In a Facebook video posted Sunday, Guam Governor Lou Leon Guerrero called on residents to stay off the roads and remain indoors, saying the administration was “ready and prepared in our planning and our protection of our people.”
WELLINGTON — A powerful rainstorm brought flooding, road closures, and forced evacuations to the southern New Zealand city of Dunedin and the neighboring Waitaki District on Monday, with authorities calling on residents to stay home and limit travel wherever possible.
Dunedin City Council reported that multiple roads in Mosgiel, located west of the city center, were shut down overnight due to surface flooding. The road crossing Three Mile Hill was also closed, and minor landslides were reported on the Otago Peninsula. In Surrey Street in South Dunedin, flood protection barriers were put in place, and officials noted that pumps and pipes had successfully managed the rainfall accumulation up to that point.
An emergency evacuation center was set up overnight in Mosgiel to shelter displaced residents. The council confirmed that “a number of residents” had sought refuge there, including one family of five.
The situation was more severe in the Waitaki District, where officials declared a state of emergency following widespread flood damage. Local reports indicate that more than 20 residents chose to self-evacuate from their homes.
New Zealand’s national weather service, MetService, reported that both Dunedin and Oamaru received approximately 100 millimeters — about 4 inches — of rain within a 24-hour period. The storm system was expected to shift northward, bringing heavy rain toward the Canterbury and Marlborough regions.

People living on Guam and nearby U.S. island territories in the western Pacific were told to seek shelter immediately as Super Typhoon Bavi closed in on the region, expected to make landfall early Monday — striking an area that is still healing from a powerful storm that hit earlier this year.
National Weather Service meteorologist Edwin Montvila said Bavi, a massive cyclone moving toward the Mariana Islands east of the Philippines, was on track to hit Rota early Monday morning local time.
“They are currently already encountering catastrophic wind,” Montvila said of Rota, a small territory of fewer than 2,000 residents located northeast of Guam. He added that an extreme wind warning was in place for the island. The storm is forecast to reach category five super typhoon strength, with sustained winds potentially hitting 180 miles (290 kilometers) per hour and gusts up to 215 miles (346 kilometers) per hour.
Beyond Rota, typhoon warnings were also issued for Guam, Tinian, and Saipan, while tropical storm warnings and watches covered other nearby islands.
This storm follows Super Typhoon Sinlaku — the strongest tropical cyclone of the year — which hammered the same island chain back in April with ferocious winds and relentless rainfall. For reference, a cyclone earns super typhoon status when its maximum sustained winds reach at least 150 mph (241 kph).
Montvila described Bavi as posing an “imminent danger to life,” with weather officials directing residents to move immediately to interior rooms in their shelters and stay clear of windows.
“Entering outside can result in death from flying projectiles. Utility poles and associated power lines will be down,” Montvila warned. “All those would pose a risk to life, so we recommend people to not venture out and hunker down.”
The storm was moving at a relatively quick pace Monday morning, giving officials some hope it would pass through without lingering. However, Montvila cautioned that due to the sheer size of Bavi, islands in the area could still be dealing with tropical storm conditions — including heavy rainfall — well into Monday night.
He also noted the typhoon “was a bit erratic” overnight into Monday morning, drifting north and south as it tracked westward toward the islands.
Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero called on residents to remain at home or in a shelter and to stay off the roads.
“Here we are experiencing another severe force of winds on our island, but as we know, we are always ready and prepared in our planning and our protection of our people,” she said in a video she shared on social media Sunday.

Firefighters battling a major wildfire in southern Colorado could soon face an even tougher fight, as threatening weather conditions are expected to move into the area.
Thunderstorms carrying strong, gusty winds are forecast to roll through the region, a combination that could make it significantly harder for crews to contain the massive blaze that has already torn through parts of the southern part of the state.
The fire, known as the Aspen Acres Fire, was photographed actively burning on Friday near the community of Rye, Colorado, as crews continued their efforts to establish containment lines around the blaze.
Weather conditions including high winds are among the most dangerous factors firefighters can face, as they can rapidly shift the direction of a fire and cause it to spread faster than crews can respond.
Delaware State Police are looking into a fatal single-vehicle crash that happened Sunday morning on Peterkins Road in Georgetown.
At around 9:15 a.m. on July 5, 2026, a Honda Accord was heading southbound on Peterkins Road and navigating a gentle left curve when, for reasons still under investigation, the vehicle veered off the western edge of the road. The car came back onto the roadway, then spun off the eastern side, crashing into two trees. The force of the impact caused the Honda to flip over onto its roof.
The man behind the wheel, a 32-year-old from Millsboro, was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity is being held back until his next of kin can be reached. The woman riding as a passenger, 31 years old and also from Millsboro, was rushed to a nearby hospital where she is being treated for serious injuries.
Peterkins Road was shut down for roughly three hours while investigators worked the scene and cleared the area.

A dangerous heat dome that baked parts of the central and eastern United States is now being blamed for at least 19 deaths in New Jersey, even as powerful storms swept in behind it, cutting power to nearly one million homes and businesses across the region.
New Jersey health officials said Saturday that heat-related fatalities began appearing as early as Thursday, with the majority concentrated in the central and northern portions of the state.
State Health Commissioner Dr. Raynard Washington addressed reporters Saturday, saying, “Unfortunately, many of these individuals were found in homes without air conditioning. A few were outside their residences, some on the street and some even in parked cars.”
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill described the event as “the hottest stretch we’ve seen in over 14 years,” and stressed that the danger extended beyond the elderly or those with existing medical conditions. “The heat’s hitting all of us, not just seniors, not just with underlying health conditions, people of all ages,” Sherrill said.
The scorching temperatures shattered records across the area. On Thursday, LaGuardia Airport in New York reached a new high of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius), surpassing the previous record of 101 F (38.3 C) that had stood since 1966, according to Bryan Jackson, a meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Weather Prediction Center. Trenton, New Jersey, hit 101 F, breaking a record of 100 F (37.7 C) that dated back to 1901. Newark climbed even higher, reaching 105 F (40.5 C) on Thursday.
Atlantic City also smashed records, reaching 103 F (39.4 C) on Thursday — topping its previous record of 100 F set in 1966 — then climbing to 105 F on Friday and 106 F (41.1 C) on Saturday, Jackson confirmed.
Jackson explained why heat domes are so dangerous, combining extreme temperatures with high humidity. “In a lot of cases they also had direct sunshine,” he said. “It was relentless. It was multiple days. It was not as cool overnight, as well. The low Friday morning in Atlantic City was 80. The body can’t recover as well. You just have that multiple day buildup and too much added stress on the body.”
As the heat gradually pushed eastward, severe thunderstorms moved in with powerful winds that toppled utility poles and brought trees crashing down onto power lines. By early Sunday afternoon, roughly 900,000 utility customers across parts of the central, eastern, and southern United States were without electricity, according to PowerOutage.com.
Michigan saw more than 223,000 customers lose power, while close to 170,000 customers in Pennsylvania were also affected. PPL Electric reported 121,417 customers without power Sunday morning, including approximately 47,000 in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, area. In New York State, Central Hudson reported more than 430 downed wires on Sunday, with about 50,000 customers impacted, though roughly 650 were still without service by Sunday.
In the Detroit area, Amanda Vesper, 40, of Commerce Township, was putting her children to bed Friday evening when the first round of storms hit and cut her power. “It didn’t seem that awful. It got quite windy,” she recalled. By late Sunday morning, her electricity had still not been restored.
“We’ve been going back and forth between a hotel and our home because we have dogs there,” Vesper said. “We really can’t stay there. I have a small child with autism. Our well runs on an electric pump.” The ongoing outage also forced the family to cancel their Fourth of July plans. “We had planned on having company over at the house, but had to cancel,” she said. “I went grocery shopping. I’m hoping my freezer holds.”
Jackson warned that heavy thunderstorms are expected Sunday in and around the Cleveland area before shifting east into Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, where the risk of flash flooding remains a concern.

State media in China reported Sunday that heavy rainfall has resulted in five deaths in the country’s north, while a tropical storm caused significant destruction across southern China and neighboring Vietnam.
According to the official Xinhua News Agency, two villagers lost their lives Saturday evening when a flash flood struck a mountainous area in the eastern portion of China’s Inner Mongolia region. One person drowned while tending to cattle, and another fell into floodwaters while attempting to move a herd to safety.
That same day, three additional fatalities were recorded roughly 390 kilometers — about 240 miles — to the southeast in Fushun, a city in Liaoning province. Xinhua did not release details on the circumstances of those deaths.
Fushun was hammered by a powerful rainstorm for several hours early Saturday, with rainfall reaching as much as 32.9 centimeters — approximately 13 inches — in at least one location. Video circulating online showed city streets completely submerged. Authorities relocated around 3,600 residents to safer ground.
Meanwhile, in China’s south, Tropical Storm Maysak crossed into the Guangxi region on Sunday after coming ashore the night before in Vietnam’s Quang Ninh province, packing winds of 101 kilometers — or 63 miles — per hour. As the storm pushed inland, it weakened from severe tropical storm status down to a standard tropical storm.
Footage aired on China’s state broadcaster CCTV showed rivers overflowing their banks in Guangxi’s Fangchenggang city, with cars submerged up to their rooftops. Emergency crews deployed inflatable boats to reach people who were stranded. A China News Service report noted that local residents described the flooding as the worst they had seen in roughly 20 years.
In Vietnam, the storm caused considerable damage Saturday evening in the town of Mong Cai, knocking down trees and tearing metal roofing off buildings, according to Vietnamese state media. After the winds died down, crews brought in chainsaws and heavy equipment to clear debris and restore access to roads.
Maysak also uprooted trees in Dongxing, a Chinese city that sits along the Vietnamese border. The storm had previously dumped heavy rain on China’s Hainan island before crossing open water and making landfall again in Vietnam.

Three children died after a boat capsized on Geneva Lake in Wisconsin’s Walworth County during a fierce Fourth of July storm — and authorities confirmed that all four children aboard the vessel had been wearing life jackets at the time.
The lake, located in a region of Southern Wisconsin long popular with vacationers from the Chicago area, became the site of a devastating holiday tragedy after a sudden and powerful storm swept through. The storm also toppled trees, snapped power lines, and made roads dangerous across several states.
According to a statement from Lake Geneva’s police department, a privately owned recreational motorboat with 10 people on board — including four children — attempted to reach shore quickly as conditions deteriorated. The boat was overwhelmed by powerful winds and waves, took on water, and eventually sank.
Rescuers pulled six adults and one child from the water alive. However, three children recovered during an extensive search were unresponsive, and lifesaving efforts administered immediately upon finding them were unsuccessful, police said.
In the wake of the storm, Lake Geneva Mayor Todd Krause declared a local emergency. He noted that one person sustained minor injuries after a falling tree struck them, and that downed trees and power lines blocked several streets throughout the area.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Geneva Lake Law Enforcement Agency launched investigations into the incident.
The deadly storm was part of a broader pattern of severe weather that swept across the Midwest and Northeast on Friday, forcing numerous cities to call off Independence Day festivals and push back fireworks shows. In Belleville, New Jersey, Mayor Frank Velez announced the celebration would be rescheduled to next year, telling residents: “While we’re disappointed we couldn’t celebrate together tonight, your safety will always come first.”

Forecasters predicted additional storms later in the day would bring relief, with significantly cooler temperatures expected heading into the new week.
