Typhoon Yutu has continued to intensify this evening, and is about to make landfall on the island of Tinian with winds estimated by Force Thirteen to be 185mph and a pressure of 896mb. If confirmed, this would make it the strongest storm to affect Saipan since at least 1914 or 1905, when other powerful typhoons swept through the islands.
Typhoon Yutu is expected to continue into the Philippine sea, where more strengthening is possible. Its long term forecast is still very uncertain, with northern Luzon, Taiwan, China, and the Ryukyu Islands of Japan all on the list of possibilities.
