All the rain we got on Guam last night was a part of a tropical depression which has been very rapidly forming northeast of Guam and moving west. It is now Tropical Storm Usagi, picking up steam as it moves away from the Marianas Islands, now northwest toward Japan. It is expected to become Typhoon Usagi later this morning.Everything we've been experiencing has been on the far fringes on the storm. We will not get hit by it.
What is unusual about this storm, in all of my vast Western Pacific weather watching experience, is that it formed to the northeast of Guam. Most of these things seem to form southeast of us over Pohnpei or even Chuuk.
