Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA developing tropical cyclone and a monsoon surge brought heavy rain and gusty |winds to the Marianas. On 10 October the disturbance that would become Tropical Depression 25W passes close to Guam. As it passed it generated heavy showers and gusty winds over the area. Tropical Depression 25W forms 145 miles west of Guam on the morning of the 11th. By the afternoon 25W became Tropical Storm Wipha 195 miles west of Guam. Increased monsoon winds associated with the tropical storm was observed on Guam. The tropical storm and a associated surge in the monsoon continued gusty wind across the Marianas on the 12th and 13th October. The swell associated with the surge produced dangerous surf on west and north facing reefs of the Marianas. The winds, surf and swell damaged an old dock at Agat Mariana on Guam.
