The notice as issued
EWWGUM The National Weather Service in Tiyan Guam has issued a * Extreme Wind Warning for... Saipan Tinian * Until 615 PM ChST. * At 313 PM ChST the eyewall of Super Typhoon Sinlaku is about 20 miles southeast of Tinian, moving northwest at 9 mph. Extremely damaging sustained winds up to 155 mph are possible. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION!
What the agency told people to do
Widespread destructive winds in excess of 115 mph will produce swaths of tornado-like damage. 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. Extremely dangerous winds will soon return on the back side of Super Typhoon Sinlaku.
