HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) -- The U.S. military has evacuated 200 people
from Wake Island before the arrival of Typhoon Ioke, the strongest
Central Pacific hurricane in more than decade.

Classified as a Category 5 "super typhoon," Ioke is expected to
extensively damage the U.S. territory when it hits Wednesday with
155-mph winds, said Jeff Powell, lead forecaster for the National
Weather Service in Honolulu.

"This is going to roll up a storm surge that will probably submerge
the island and destroy everything that's not made of concrete," Powell
said.

Should be happening right around now.
