Typhoon heading to Yap

Super Typhoon Maysak is now as strong as Cylone Pam which hit Vanuatu earlier this month leaving 11 dead and was reported to be the strongest cyclone in Vanuatu's history. It hit Chuuk as category 1 and left with 5 so far reported dead.

Compared to Typhoon Sudal which hit Yap in 2004 causing $14 million, Typhoon Sudal had sustained winds of up to 150 mph. Super Typhoon Maysak now has winds of up to 165 mph.

Super Typhoon Maysak, now category 5, is so far set to hit between late Tuesday night, March 31 and early Wednesday morning, April 1 (Yap time zone).
