Typhoons in the Pacific: A Pattern of Devastation The latest super typhoon to hit the US Pacific islands, Bavi, has left a trail of destruction in its wake, with reports of major damages and catastrophic winds exceeding 150 mph.
The storm's immediate impact is dire, but it's the broader pattern that emerges from this storm that warrants attention.
The region is still reeling from Super Typhoon Sinlaku in mid April, which cut off power for tens of thousands of people and caused widespread damage.
