'Major' damage as Super Typhoon Bavi hits US island of Rota
A "super typhoon" with equivalent force to a category-five hurricane tore through the US island of Rota in the Pacific on Monday, with authorities saying they had received reports of "major" damage. Local authorities on the small island -- the southernmost part of the Northern Marianas -- said they had already received reports from some of its roughly 1,500 inhabitants of "major damages".
