Typhoon Mawar has barrelled into Guam as a powerful Category 4 storm, pummelling the U.S. Pacific territory with high winds, heavy rains and a dangerous storm surge.
Posted: May 24, 2023 6:37 AM EDT | Last Updated: 2 hours agoThe typhoon's centre passed over the northern tip of Guam on Wednesday evening, the National Weather Service said. It is the strongest storm to hit the U.S. Pacific territory of over 150,000 people in decades.
"We have the peak conditions going on for a couple more hours. I think thrashing is the word I would use," Aydlett said. "There are trees everywhere at this point. Daylight tomorrow is really going to be a shock to a lot of people.
The weather service warned of an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation, and said people should take cover and remain in shelter for the next few hours. Residents accustomed to typhoons had been preparing for days, filling up gas tanks, securing patio furniture and gathering important documents.
