Super Typhoon 15W Choi-Wan



It has been an exciting week at the office. Typhoon Choi-Wan (Chinese - colorful cloud) started out as a small storm 600 miles to the east of Guam and rapidly intensified. At first it was moving westerly towards the island of Saipan, so we were expecting strong winds for Guam. But eventually it turned northwest and went over the northern islands in the Central Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI). Now the projected track will take it in close vicinity of Iwo-to, Japan. Bonus points if you can find out the significance of this island.
