Summary

Description Trmm tingting 28june0428 lrg.jpg	English: Tingting, at the time still a tropical storm, dumped record breaking rains on Guam over the weekend resulting in extensive flooding and mudslides. The weather service reported that 16 inches of rain fell on Sunday alone (local time). The tropical depression that would later become Tingting first formed on the 25th of June 2004 several hundred miles east-southeast of the southern Mariana Islands. The storm proceeded westward for a short time before turning northwest. The system slowly strengthened becoming a tropical storm on the 26th and a minimal typhoon on the 28th as it passed north of Saipan in the central Marianas. After passing through the island chain, the storm turned northward and is expected to pass close to Iwo Jima.
