Super Typhoon Sinlaku hits Pacific

While there have been no early reports of casualties, officials in Saipan and Tinian describe the damage as 'really huge.' The typhoon's slow movement across the islands inflicted prolonged destruction, flooding low-lying areas and battering coastal roads.

Emergency services are currently assessing the impact on power grids and communication networks.

Residents have been warned to remain indoors as the storm continues to track northwest toward remote U.S. territories.
