Category 4 Typhoon Champi narrowly misses Guam

Guam narrowly escaped a direct hit from Category 4 Typhoon Champi.

Hurricane Trudy is expected to impact southwestern and west-central regions of Mexico's Pacific coast, potentially intensifying through Saturday. The storm, classified as a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 90 mph, is currently located approximately 240 miles west-southwest of Acapulco and 215 miles southeast of Manzanillo. A hurricane warning has been issued along the coast from Manzanillo to Cabo Corrientes.

The Mexican navy has advised the maritime community and coastal residents to take extreme precautions due to high waves, heavy rainfall, and the threat of rising river levels, floods, and landslides. Meanwhile, Typhoon Champi, located west of Guam, is also intensifying, with maximum sustained winds reaching 100 mph. A typhoon warning has been issued for Guam and Rota, as well as a tropical storm warning for Tinian, Saipan, and nearby areas.
