IMG is working hard behind the scenes to reflect the change in ownership and ensure a smooth transition. Our technical teams are implementing these changes to ensure a seamless customer experience and expect the website to be available again within approximately 2 hours.
Thank you for your patience while we complete this work.

Super Typhoon Bavi impacted Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands in early July 2026 as a powerful Category 5-equivalent tropical cyclone, causing significant damage, power outages, flooding, and disruption to transportation and essential services. The storm has since moved westward and is forecast to continue towards Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, and eastern China, with the potential for further travel disruptions in affected areas.
