Good stuff........
I bought the CD, which has about 10 minutes of footage. They just missed the eye to their east but had awesome eyewall winds.

I thought I should revive this topic so the new viewers can get an idea of what 200 mph wind gusts look like. 
Oh, and the URL has changed. This is the new one.

Wow, that was really an amazing video! And somewhat scary as well!
For some historical info on the storm, here is a snippet from the report that NOAA made on Super Typhoon Pongsona:
"Super Typhoon Pongsona was one of the worst typhoons to ever strike the island of Guam. It was Guam’s third most intense storm with sustained winds of 144 miles per hour (mph), gusts to 173 mph, and a pressure of 27.61 inches (935 millibars [mb]).
Only two storms exceeded Super Typhoon Pongsona—Karen in 1962, 27.52 inches (932 mb) and 155 mph winds sustained; and the Typhoon of 1900, 27.35 inches (926 mb), wind speed unknown. Super Typhoon Paka in 1997 equaled Pongsona in intensity while over Guam. Preliminary damage estimates for Guam totaled more than $700 million which placed Pongsona in the top five typhoons for damage."
