预报显示，超强台风“森拉克”正逼近西太平洋偏远美属领地，预计周二横扫北马里亚纳群岛时，将带来极强风力、雷暴和大范围洪涝灾害。
据关岛国家气象局最新通报，“森拉克”的内眼墙于当地时间当晚10点15分左右（即美国东部时间上午8点15分）在马里亚纳群岛的天宁岛和塞班岛登陆。当时，该风暴的最大持续风速达130英里/小时，相当于强烈的四级台风。
美国国家气象局表示：“随着风眼掠过岛屿，风雨会暂时停歇，但风暴后侧更强的风力将随后席卷天宁岛和塞班岛。即便风眼内风力暂时趋于平静，所有人仍应留在避难场所，切勿外出。”
美联社分享的视频记录了超强台风“森拉克”在塞班岛近海盘旋时给当地带来的初步影响，强风暴雨肆虐全岛。当晚早些时候，该风暴曾在该群岛海岸外约30英里处停滞数小时。
关岛拥有三处美军基地和约17万人口，预计不会直接遭受台风正面袭击。但据关岛联合信息中心消息，该岛已记录到最高达80英里/小时的阵风，热带风暴级风力预计将持续至周三下午。
该中心在最新通报中称：“即便台风最接近点已经过境，破坏性大风仍将在全岛持续，持续对公共安全、基础设施和电力线路构成威胁。”并敦促民众继续留在室内，远离水域。

关岛教育部已于周二和周三停课，联合信息中心表示，学校将持续停课直至关岛总督宣布恢复上课的安全条件达标。该中心还提到，关岛水务局已确认“台风导致全岛多处停电”。
预报员预计，当地时间周二晚些时候，“森拉克”将以极具破坏力的四级风暴强度掠过或直接袭击天宁岛和塞班岛。据气象局消息，台风预警已覆盖马里亚纳群岛的罗塔岛、天宁岛、塞班岛、阿拉马甘岛、帕甘岛和阿格里汉岛。关岛仍处于热带风暴预警和台风监视之下。
在西南太平洋，气象学家将美国称之为“飓风”的热带气旋称为“台风”。当台风最大持续风速超过150英里/小时时，即被归类为“超强台风”。
“森拉克”的最大风速于周日在开阔洋面达到180英里/小时，成为继台风“纳雷勒”和“杜德扎伊”之后今年迄今最强的风暴。

Powerful super typhoon takes aim at remote U.S. islands in Pacific

Super Typhoon Sinlaku is closing in on remote U.S. territories in the western Pacific Ocean, threatening to bring extremely powerful winds, thunderstorms and widespread flooding when it barrels over the northern Marianas Islands on Tuesday, forecasts show.
Sinlaku’s inner eyewall came ashore on the Marianas islands of Tinian and Saipan at around 10:15 p.m. local time, which was around 8:15 a.m. ET, according to the latest update from the National Weather Service office in Guam. At the time, the storm was packing maximum sustained winds of 130 mph, equating to a strong Category 4.
“As the eye moves over the islands, a short reprieve of winds and rains will occur before stronger winds on the backside of the storm move across Tinian and Saipan,” the weather service said. “Everyone should remain sheltered in place even if the winds temporarily become calm within the eye.”
Video shared by the Associated Press showed the early impacts of the super typhoon on Saipan, as Sinlaku hovered offshore, launching fierce winds and rain toward the island. Earlier in the night, the storm had become “nearly stationary” about 30 miles off the coast of the archipelago for several hours.
Home to three U.S. military bases and about 170,000 people, Guam is not expected to see a direct hit from the super typhoon. However, wind gusts of up to 80 mph have already been recorded on the island and tropical-storm-force winds were forecast to continue through Wednesday afternoon, according to Guam’s Joint Information Center.
“Even though the closest point of approach has passed, damaging winds will persist across the island, posing ongoing risks to public safety, infrastructure, and power lines,” the center said in its latest advisory, which urged people to remain indoors and out of the water.

The Guam Department of Education closed schools Tuesday and Wednesday, and the information center said they would remain shut until the governor declares conditions are safe for classes to return. The center also said Guam’s water authority was “aware of multiple power outages throughout the island as a result of the super typhoon.”
Forecasters anticipate that Sinlaku will pass over or near Tinian and Saipan as a destructive Category 4 storm late Tuesday night in the local time zone. Typhoon warnings were in effect for the Marianas islands of Rota, Tinian, Saipan, Alamagan, Pagan and Agrihan ahead of the typhoon’s arrival, according to the weather service. Guam remained under a tropical storm warning and typhoon watch, the weather service said.
In the Southwest Pacific, “typhoon” is used to describe a tropical storm that forecasters would call a hurricane in the U.S. When a typhoon’s maximum sustained winds rise above 150 mph, it becomes a “super typhoon.”
Sinlaku’s maximum wind speeds peaked at 180 mph as the typhoon traveled over the open ocean on Sunday, making it the most powerful storm to develop so far this year, after typhoons Narelle and Dudzai.
