Description: 
EWWGUM The National Weather Service in Tiyan Guam has issued a * Extreme Wind Warning for... Saipan Tinian * Until 1215 AM ChST. * At 916 PM ChST, Andersen AFB Doppler radar indicated western edge of the eyewall of Super Typhoon Sinlaku is moving into Tinian and just south of Saipan. Winds up to 150 mph are possible. Sinlaku's forward speed is around 3 hour motion to the northwest, estimated by radar. This slow motion means destructive winds in excess of 115 mph will be prolonged once they arrive and may extend further into the overnight hours as the eye passes near or over Tinian and Saipan. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION!
Instruction: 
Widespread destructive winds in excess of 115 mph are expected. TAKE COVER NOW! Move immediately to an interior room in your shelter. Take action now to protect your life! The safest place to be during this situation is in a reinforced interior room away from windows. Put as many walls between yourself and the outside as possible. Remain in shelter through the passage of these life-threatening conditions. Do not venture out into the relative calm of the eye if it pass over you. Extremely dangerous winds will soon return on the back side of Super Typhoon Sinlaku.
