It’s fun when you’ve heard stories growing up about crazy things you thought you’d certainly never see for yourself and then you suddenly find yourself there! This is the area where Imperial Japanese Army Sergeant Shoichi Yokoi lived in isolation for nearly 28 years after World War II in a hand dug cave. He was finally found and was explained that the war had been over 28 years. They brought him out and he returned to Japan a celebrity. The original cave he dug was destroyed by a typhoon so they recreated a new replica one. You can see he lived in a lush area of Guam with plentiful water.

Some of the beautiful waterfalls of Guam from yesterday. Everything was flowing pretty good because of the continued bands coming across from Super Typhoon Champi. The rivers were carrying a lot of water down into the Pacific.

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 (especially the southern tip of island) just barely missed the core/eyewall of Typhoon Champi. The effects for this typhoon hardened island thus were pretty small. Here’s what we saw as daylight broke on the southern part of the island. The wind field was so wrapped up around that small eyewall that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the southern tip of the island missed severe destruction by just 5-10 miles!

Typhoon Champi’s strongest winds just missed Guam. On the Southeastern Shore there were some minor storm surge effects. The storm surge was chasing me!

LIVE FROM GUAM: TYPHOON CHAMPI — Live Footage as the Storm Impacts ...

10/17/2026

It wasn’t a bad day today on Guam. Winds slowly picked up and waves continued to build. Winds are estimated to be up to around 130mph & gusts to 160mph. Closest approach/landfall should be around 4am or in around 9hrs (around midday USA).

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.

Another nice tropical sunset… this time from Guam where the high clouds from Tropical Storm Champi are passing over Tumon Bay, Guam.

10/16/2026

Tropical Storm Champi is expected to strengthen into a Typhoon and possibly be undergoing rapid intensification on approach to Guam where it could make landfall as almost any category of storm (1-5). We just got the Typhoon Warnings on our phone. It’s a beautiful island and some people are still out trying to enjoy a pretty nice day today. Things will begin deteriorating tomorrow. I will have a live stream on my YouTube probably starting sometime later tomorrow (our time - it’s 4:30pm Friday as I post this).
