The Vanuatu archipelago is being impacted by a monster category five typhoon (hurricane) named Pam. Pam is dumping nearly two feet of water on the islands of the nation especially on the island which the capital of Vanuatu, Port Vila, is situated. Typhoon Pam is packing winds over 160 MPH and gusts possibly up to 210 MPH with a storm surge possibly over 20 feet (about 7 meters). This storm is for the record books, as mass devastation is expected in Vanuatu and some surrounding island nations.

Although most connection in Vanuatu is cut off currently due to the storm, stay safe to those in Vanuatu and for anyone in danger of a natural disaster anywhere.

Although Weather 360 mainly covers the Northeast US, we thought it was important for people t note that a category 5 hurricane (typhoon in that region) will likely impact Vanuatu in the Southern Pacific with the chance of impacting northeastern New Zealand with a high surf and gusty winds as the main storm is likely to stay well offshore. This storm could be one for the record books in the Southern Hemisphere. The Atlantic Hurricane Season begins on June 1st. Wherever you are, stay safe!
