  • December 8, 2002 – Typhoon Pongsona
  • August 2, 2015 – Typhoon Soudelor
  • October 24, 2018 – Typhoon Yutu made landfall on Tinian with 1 minute winds estimated at 280 km/h (170 mph), making it the strongest storm on record to strike the Northern Marianas Islands, as well as tied for the second-strongest tropical cyclone on record to hit the United States. Yutu was tied with Karen in 1962, which struck Guam, and Hurricane Camille in 1969, which struck the U.S. Gulf coast; the three ranked only behind the 1935 Labor Day hurricane, which struck Florida.[4][5][6] Yutu killed two people on Saipan – one related to a building collapse, the other due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Damage was estimated at $800 million, with more than 1,000 houses damaged or destroyed.[7][8][9]
