Drainage basin in Nanao Township eastern Taiwan. Check out how high the water rises during a typhoon. I took this one from a train.

While the major destructive winds just missed Guam a few miles to the south of the island… there was still damage across the island. #guam #champi #Typhoon

In 1991 Typhoon Yuri passed south of Guam. Jim Leonard went to the Inarajan Natural Pool on the east side to catch the storm surge. He timed it just right youtu.be/l9vDSWugz08?is=t9Ya… Jim would be proud to see chasers going there today.

Guam is literally dodging a bullet as #Champi passes just south of the island. This is one of the nastiest inner-cores of a tropical cyclone I’ve ever seen on radar. Several meso-vorticies and tons of lightning in the eyewall tells me this is a very intense storm.

Typhoon Champi looks to be heading to cross the southern tip of Guam unless it wobbles back left.

Satellite shows Super Typhoon Champi with intensity at 135 - 155 knots, likely Category 5 as it bears Guam. Champi explosively intensified, and may become the strongest tropical cyclone on Earth so far for 2026.
