Typhoon Mawar moves west but leaves US territory of Guam without power
Island 'weathered the storm'
Guam Governor Lou Leon Guerrero has declared that the island 'weathered the storm' as it moved away from US Pacific Ocean Territory. When it hit the island, it caused blasting winds of 140 miles per hour (225 kilometers per hour). The satellite image shows Typhoon Mawar moving away from Guam.
Parting shot
Even if the typhoon moved away from the island, it caused high winds and precipitation which caused damage.
Winds by the bay
Storm force winds were still strong. The image shows situation at Tumon Bay, Guam on May 25, 2023.
Chaotic while it lasted
Situation may have calmed a bit now but when Typhoon hit Guam, even big trees with strong roots couldn't hold their own.
Lashing from the elements
The island was battered due to strong winds and rains when the island was almost under attack from the elements.
Spirit not dampened
The island is battered but not broken. Thousands of people remain without power but the spirit of the people is unbroken.
