The typhoon that closed in on the Marianas Islands earlier this week brought extremely powerful winds, thunderstorms, widespread flooding, and water and power outages. The storm initially arrived as a super typhoon—the strongest to develop anywhere in the world in 2026—before weakening slightly.
We wanted to draw your attention to this because we have brothers, sisters, and siblings here that are from there and currently have family there.
