Typhoon Sanvu is the first typhoon this year
Typhoon Sanvu has become the year’s first typhoon. It is the first such storm since early October 2011. Sanvu is only the second named western north Pacific storm thus far in 2012. Fortunately, no major land masses are under threat from Sanvu, which will track near a few small remote islands later in the week.
