You very well could be looking at the world’s strongest storm of 2026. In one of the most ridiculous underestimates of the decade, Typhoon Champi is still officially listed as a C4 despite a satellite presentation that suggests 180+ MPH winds. This Super El Niño will not stop.

While the major destructive winds just missed Guam a few miles to the south of the island… there was still damage across the island. #guam #champi #Typhoon

The forecast for Typhoon Champi at Guam continues to look worse and worse. Here’s part of the latest NWS statement. I will have a live stream up later today sometime. Conditions are still fine here now. #typhoon #champi #guam
