Super Typhoon Sinlaku Pounds Remote U.S. Islands In Pacific

A super typhoon with ferocious winds and heavy rains is battering a group of remote U.S. island in the Pacific Ocean. The National Weather Service says the center of the monster storm is roaring along the Northern Mariana Islands early Wednesday. Super Typhoon Sinlaku is the strongest tropical typhoon on Earth so far this year. It was packing winds that were likely to bring power outages to the islands that are home to roughly 50,000 people. The typhoon slowed to a crawl as it approached the islands. That's raising fears that the fierce winds won’t go away quickly and will worsen its impact.
