Rampen · Champi aftermathChampi warnings end, but Guam faces new flooding and dangerous seasGeschreven 19 oktober 2026 om 04:08 UTCKijkenTranscript0:07Heavy rain threatens northern Guam with flooding after Champi's cyclone warnings0:11ended.0:11Dangerous surf and rough seas still threaten swimmers and small boats across four0:15islands.0:16On October 17th, we reported that Guam and Rhoda remained under typhoon warnings0:20with Champi's winds at 140 miles an hour.0:24Those warnings have since ended.0:26Which dangers remain as Guam returns to normal readiness?0:29The last cyclone warnings ended Sunday evening at 5:51, covering Guam, Rhoda, and0:35the surrounding waters.0:36Across the Marianas, no tropical cyclone watches or warnings remain.0:40Northern Guam's flood advisory and the island's coastal advisories are still in0:44effect.0:44Champi was about 345 miles west of Guam in Monday morning's latest position.0:49Its maximum sustained winds were 140 miles an hour, down from Sunday's 150.0:55It was moving west-northwest at 14 miles an hour into the Philippine Sea.0:59Typhoon force winds extended up to 60 miles from the center, and tropical storm1:04force winds up to 175 miles.1:06The forecast keeps Champi on that general course through Tuesday.1:10It could regain super typhoon strength later Monday, but that strengthening is still1:14a forecast.1:14Northern Guam had already received an estimated 1.5 to 3 inches of rain when the new1:20advisory began.1:21Another half inch to 1.5 inches is forecast there.1:24These amounts cover the local advisory area.1:27The flooding threat includes Didado, Tamuning, and Yigo along with Mangalau,1:31Barigada, Anderson Air Force Base, and Mongmong Toto Mate.1:35Urban areas and small streams could flood, especially where drainage is poor.1:38Drivers encountering flooded roads should turn around rather than attempt a1:42crossing.1:42The broader regional flood watch had already been canceled Monday morning as1:46Champies Outer Rain Bands withdrew.1:48The new Northern Guam Advisory followed around midday.1:51Rain was easing across the region, but enough fell locally to create another1:54flooding threat.1:55The advisory runs until 1.15 this afternoon, Chamorro Standard Time.1:59Breaking waves of 9 to 11 feet are forecast along exposed reefs.2:03High surf covers south and west reefs of Guam and Rhoda, and south reefs of Tinian2:08and Saipan.2:09Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions can continue as Champi moves farther away.2:17The forecast surf has eased from the previous evenings 10 to 14 feet, but rip2:21currents remain life-threatening, including along south and east reefs of Tinian and2:25Saipan.2:26They can sweep even strong swimmers offshore.2:28Guam's continuing instruction is explicit, stay out of the water.2:32If a rip current catches you, float rather than fight it.2:35Swim parallel to the shoreline if you can escape and call or wave for help if you2:39can't.2:39Localized beach erosion is also possible while the surf remains elevated.2:43Guam and Rhoda waters have forecast seas of 10 to 12 feet, with southeast winds of2:4815 to 20 knots.2:50Tinian and Saipan face 9 to 11 foot seas and winds of 10 to 20 knots.2:55Both areas could have frequent gusts to 30 knots.2:58The hazardous seas warning has been cancelled, while the small craft advisory3:02continues swell and wind driven waves still make these waters dangerous for smaller3:07vessels, inexperienced mariners, Especially those operating small boats, should3:11avoid boating in these conditions.3:12Champi's eye passed about 10 miles south of Guam's southern tip early Sunday3:16morning.3:17The midday account put the eye at around five miles wide.3:20The strongest winds were concentrated offshore, while damaging gusts continued3:23across parts of the islands.3:25The full morning advisory arrived ahead of its scheduled release and was later3:28corrected.3:29It classified Champi as a super typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 150 miles an3:34hour.3:35That was a later intensification from the 140 mile an hour stage in our earlier3:39broadcast.3:40Guam International Airport had occasional gusts up to 80 miles an hour Sunday3:44morning.3:45By the afternoon update, sustained winds were 25 to 30 miles an hour, with gusts up3:49to 60.3:50Those readings came at different stages of the storm.3:53Rhoda experienced tropical storm conditions that morning, while Saipan later had3:58gusts up to 35 miles an hour.4:00Tinian and Saipan's tropical storm warnings and typhoon watches were canceled at4:04midday.4:05Guam and Rhoda's typhoon warnings lasted into the evening.4:08as damaging gusts took longer to subside.4:11Earlier marine warnings forecast seas potentially reaching 24 feet near Guam and 204:15feet near Rota.4:16Later buoys measured combined seas of 9 to 12 feet near the far northern Marianas.4:21Those observations describe a different location, far from Guam's coastal waters.4:26Destructive typhoon force winds were occurring in western Guam waters during4:29Sunday's warning period.4:31Boats were told to remain in safe harbor because the seas could capsize or sink4:34vessels.4:35The forecast offshore sea heights didn't measure breaking waves on Guam's beaches.4:39Governor Lourdes Leon Guerrero returned Guam to condition of readiness 4 at 6 Sunday4:44evening.4:45That ended the earlier shelter posture.4:47An initial drive-through assessment found no significant ocean inundation or4:51collapsed buildings along the route, and no impassable roads or mudslides.4:55That first reconnaissance covered only an early view of the damage.4:59Southern Guam reportedly had fallen trees and damaged roofs.5:02The full toll on people and property still isn't clear.5:05Remaining precautions include watching for road closures, avoiding downed power5:09lines, and checking for any boil water notices.5:1172 of Guam's 98 operating water wells depended on standby generators in Sunday5:17morning's utility update.5:18All sewer pump stations and wastewater treatment plants were online, and no sewer5:23overflows had been reported at that point.5:25Parts of Pago Bay, Maleso, and Latte Heights had reported low or absent water5:30pressure.5:30Power loss and fluctuations could force water system adjustments, as could generator5:34refueling and servicing.5:36Those were Sunday morning's operating conditions.5:38They don't tell households whether their service has since been restored.5:41Flooding made the Yugum River too cloudy for normal treatment, and the Yugum surface5:45water treatment plant was secured.5:47Its reservoir remained unaffected and continued supplying the distribution system.5:52Power and water crews were coordinating generator operations, with field response5:56dependent on safe weather.5:58Sunday's power disruption also interrupted weather observations.6:02The radar at Anderson was reported out of service by 6 that morning and returned at6:057.14.6:07its temporary outage left a gap in radar coverage during the storm's departure.6:11Guam's public school students have no classes Monday while administrators and staff6:15assess facilities.6:16School shelters continue operating and supporting their occupants.6:19Elementary parent-teacher conferences have also been postponed, with replacement6:23dates to come after schools reopen.6:25Government operations reopened Monday, and officials were assisting motorists while6:29continuing to warn about flooding and life-threatening marine conditions.6:33Normal readiness allows recovery work to proceed while school checks, household6:37water problems, and local weather hazards still affect daily life.6:41The flood advisory is scheduled to end at 1:15, followed by the next cyclone6:45advisory at 2.6:47Surf and rip current alerts run until 4, and the small craft advisory until 5.6:52All those times are local to the islands.6:54Champi's departing corps has allowed the cyclone warnings to end.6:58Flooding, surf, and boating dangers still require separate precautions.7:01The scheduled end of an advisory doesn't guarantee that a flooded road, exposed7:05beach, or stretch of coastal water becomes safe at that minute.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDexDe korte video ↗Wie meldde watPunten die meer dan
