CHOI-WAN approaching supertyphoon status
      Mon Sep 14 2009 05:58 PM

Typhoon CHOI-WAN is rapidly becoming a monster. Winds are now up to 120 kts. (140 mph) and it is wobbling northwest slowly. It's about 140 miles NNE of Saipan and moving away. Winds at Saipan recently have been 20-30 mph with gusts to 40. It looks like the storm will pass very close to (if not over) the island of Alamagan within the next 12 hours. It should be a supertyphoon by then. In fact the latest forecast takes the winds up to 140 kts. (160 mph) in a day or two. The path has been consistently to the right of the forecast and it looks like there will be a significant threat to Iwo Jima in about 3 days.
