A super typhoon that ravaged the Northern Marianas Islands sent more than 3,000 tourists fleeing as residents struggled with a power outage, destroyed homes and long lines for gasoline. At category 5, Super Typhoon Yutu was the strongest storm to hit any part of the US this year. Saipan, the largest island, is a popular tourist destination for travelers from South Korea and China. There were 3,200 tourists when Yutu hit, said governor spokesman Kevin Bautista. The South Korean government flew most of their nationals out on military planes over the weekend, he said, and other tourists have been flying home now that commercial flights have resumed out of the Saipan airport.
