As of Monday, April 13, Sinlaku carried sustained winds of 175 mph — equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane — with typhoon warnings in effect for Saipan, Tinian and Rota, as typhoon conditions were expected by Tuesday. An island-wide power outage hit the Northern Mariana Islands, while flight cancellations were also reported amid the worsening weather.
