The notice as issued
EWWGUM The National Weather Service in Tiyan Guam has issued a * Extreme Wind Warning for... Saipan Tinian * Until 915 PM ChST. * At 611 PM ChST, Andersen AFB Doppler radar indicated the secondary eyewall of Super Typhoon Sinlaku is over Tinian and Saipan, bringing heavy rain and winds of 74 mph with gusts to 107 mph. The strongest winds are still with the inner eyewall located south- southeast of Tinian and Saipan, were winds up to 155 mph are possible. Sinlaku's forward speed has slowed significantly, with 3 hour motion estimated by radar to be 3 mph west-northwest. 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!
What the agency told people to do
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.
