Power still out in South of Saipan after Typhoon Yutu

From , 6:05 am on 19 November 2018

Much of the island of Saipan in the Northern Marianas remains without power and water, as recovery efforts continue in the wake of Typhoon Yutu.

The island's international airport resumed daytime flights on Thursday, more than 20 days after being hit by the super storm.

Regular nighttime flights should start on Tuesday.

Public schools are scheduled to re-open on December 3, although this will happen a week earlier in the nearby island of Tinian.

Our correspondent in the Northern Marianas, Mark Rabago, told Mackenzie Smith Saipan is still in "full recovery mode".
