This video from Saipan was recorded by a person who is from Puerto Rico and lives in that island. Hear the sound of the winds.

There's a new monstrous outer eyewall and it seems it's trying to shake off the banding feature - if it succeeds, I'll give it the A-word

Some stats that I think are correct:
9 Extreme Wind Warnings ties with Irma for the most for a single tropical cyclone.
The JMA's 920 mbar estimate when it hit Saipan would tie it as the 5th lowest pressure for a landfalling US TC when including overseas territories.
This is the second strongest TC to hit Tinian or Saipan on record... probably.

According to CSU, Sinlaku has racked up 33.9 ACE units. Could be 34 given the adjustments.

Already more than any storm last year

Finnally, Sinlaku is doing two things, weakening and starting to move faster. This will allow the recovery efforts in Guam, Rota, Tianan and Saipan go ahead.
