A brewing Pacific storm could become one of the planet’s strongest this year

Super Typhoon Champi is churning across the Pacific and may become one of the strongest storms of the year. The storm has prompted Guam to enter Condition of Readiness 1, with residents ordered to stay home and out of the water. Forecasters warn Champi could pass directly over Guam as a Category 3 typhoon. Beyond the Marianas, the storm is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility next week, while a separate system named Trudy targets Mexico.
