(CNN) - Super Typhoon Hagibis rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to a super typhoon Monday. "The wind speed increased by 100 mph in only 24 hours," said CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller. The super typhoon is near the Northern Mariana Islands with sustained winds of 160 mph -- the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. It will track between the islands of Anatahan and Sarigan, according to the latest forecast from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center has low confidence in its forecast on Friday and Saturday, so this powerful and dangerous super typhoon needs to be watched closely in the coming days.

(CNN) - Florida's governor urged residents to stock up on enough food, water and medicine to last seven days as the potentially devastating Hurricane Dorian gets closer to the state. Dorian's maximum winds increased to 140 mph Saturday as it nears the Bahamas then on to the Florida coast by late Monday.

"The King Tides adding a couple of feet to the water height is almost like the storm being a category higher on scale." Something like the King Tides could mean those who would typically see themselves as far enough away from the storm's threat could, in fact, be in danger.
