Berichtgeving over (super)typhoon Nida
Op dit moment raast er door de Pacific Nida, een supertyphoon (cat 5) met windsnelheden van zo'n 216 km/h en windstoten tot 233 km/h. Nida scheert langs eilandjes als Guam en San Jose in de Grote Oceaan maar een echte landfall zit er nog niet in, het dichtst bij zijn de Filipijnen op 1400 km afstand. Haar richting lijkt naar Japan of Taiwan te gaan, maar het is onduidelijk in welke toestand Nida dan zal zijn, aangezien Nida naar kouder water gaat.

Typhoon Nida Forecast To Remain West Of Guam
Guam's holding out for a break this Thanksgiving as Typhoon Nida tracks North-Northwest and is expected to remain West of the Marianas. According to the National Weather Service, at 3:50 p.m. Chamorro Standard Time, the well-defined 20-mile-diamater eye of Typhoon Nida, with 100 percent eye wall coverage was located by radar near 11.6 degrees North Latitude and 143 degrees East Longitude. This is about 180 miles southwest of the Guam WSR-88D radar at an elevation of 24,000 feet. The storm-turned-typhoon has continued to edge closer to Guam since yesterday and has picked up speed, albeit slowly.
NWS reported at 2:00 p.m. that Nida is moving North-Northwest at around 12 MPH. Little change in motion was expected during the next 24 hours. Typhoon force winds extended outward up to 40 miles from the center and Tropical Storm force winds extended outward up to 100 miles from the center. Fortunately for Guam and the Northern Marianas, as Nida moves North, she also drifts west.
