The eye of the super typhoon — as strong as a category five hurricane — is expected to come within 13 miles of Wake Island, bringing an 18-foot storm surge and 40-foot waves.

That should pretty much scour the island.

From your link....

The runway on the island is just 14 feet above sea level.

Hopefully it will be there after the storm....
