It dark here on Saipan now. Interesting how the pressure dropped from 997 to 992 as I drove back out to Banzai Cliff this afternoon. Before I left, at 6pm the pressure was 989.
I filmed 3 Americans standing at the observation deck at the cliff get covered up by a huge wave/spray from Melor. It's pretty funny.
The wind was not too impressive, although it's blowing harder now than at any time today. Thanks for all the posts with track info and data. I passed along the info to the locals that took shelter here in the motel. They were quite concerned - but felt much better getting info from reliable sources.

REMARKS:
030900Z POSITION NEAR 16.5N 146.1E.
TYPHOON (TY) 20W (MELOR) LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 80 NM NORTHEAST OF
SAIPAN, HAS TRACKED WESTWARD AT 13 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.
THE TYPHOON REMAINS A 115 KNOT SYSTEM AS IT TRACKS TO THE NORTH OF
SAIPAN. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS IT
PROGRESSIVELY ROUNDS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST, AND WILL
THEN BEGIN TO SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT NEARS THE MID-LATITUDES. MODEL
GUIDANCE IS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A RECURVATURE SCENARIO
BEGINNING NEAR TAU 72. BY TAU 96 (JUST SOUTH OF TOKYO), THE SYSTEM
WILL BEGIN EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION WHILE ACCELERATING TO THE
NORTHEAST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF STRONG WESTERLIES ALOFT. BY DAY 5
THE SYSTEM WILL BE COMPLETELY EXTRATROPICAL. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 030600Z IS 33 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 031500Z,
032100Z, 040300Z AND 040900Z. REFER TO TYPHOON 19W (PARMA) WARNINGS

Re: WPAC : TYPHOON MELOR (20W)
Guam,Rota,Tinian and Saipan dodged the worse of this strong typhoon.When it started to develop (Around 6N) it was a big threat because of that very south position related to the Mariana islands mentioned above.But thankfully,it started to track NW for a long time and that movement caused that they got spared from being a disaster.
