Hopeful the these don't develop into anything stronger than a banana storm and die when it gets close to Guam, and that the big one for this season is already done with Typhoon Choi Wan that missed Japan. That was a category 4, nobody needs another one of those anywhere in the Pacific. Although that one in Kwajalein doesn't look good since Super Typhoon Paka came from there in 1997.

Here people are just waiting for another big one because it's been 7 years since the last category 4/5 Super Typhoons. In the 90's we had 3 category 4/5 within 7 years and two came on consecutive years (91 Yuri, 92 Omar, 97 Paka w/235mph gust). Living without electricity for 6 months and water for 3 months became a norm and people made do with what they had.
