SUPER TYPHOON BAVI: GET A LOAD OF THIS!
This is the NWS Guam report from four hours ago at 1:00 AM July 6, 2026. Bavi had maximum sustained winds of 180 mph with higher gusts, and was 115 miles east of Guam. Depending on its precise track, we on Guam may have already experienced our CPA — closest point of approach. I will know shortly with the 5:00 AM report.
Personally, I and my two cats, Polo and Eljio, are doing fine. The power is out, wind and rain are beating the back side of the building, and I’ve got two candles lit. No big deal. I’ve been through these storms for 40+ years. But please pray for the people of Rota, Tinian and Saipan. Some of them — particularly Tinian — are going to get hit VERY hard. 180 mph winds is no laughing matter. It is deadly!
