High Surf August 21, 2004 · Saipan, Guam
The wider storm
A male Chinese tourist, 38, was taking pictures of his friends on the rocks of the Grotto at Marpi, Saipan. A very large wave came in suddenly, and swept him out over the reef. His body was never recovered. One of the friends was injured, requiring hospital care. The high surf was associated with the approach of Typhoon Chaba, which moved through the Mariana Islands over the following two days.
