CNMI Gov. Torres: We will overcome together after Super Typhoon Yutu strikes

Gov. Ralph DLG Torres rallied the CNMI community after Super Typhoon Yutu left a swath of destruction on the islands of Saipan and Tinian early this morning.

“The winds and rain were strong, and they have tested our spirits. Already, we know friends and family who have experienced the worst of these conditions. My heart goes out to all who call the CNMI home. But what we suffer through together, we will overcome together,” he said in a statement.

He also asked the people of the Northern Marianas to please remain safe as winds continue to remain strong.

“Do not put yourself at risk… emergency responders were asked to remain temporarily in place during the height of storm. But the moment this subsides, they will be rushing to serve our people,” said Torres.
