Super Typhoon Mawar smashes into US Pacific territory
Super Typhoon Mawar has barrelled into Guam as a powerful Category 4 storm, pummelling the US Pacific territory with high winds, heavy rain and a dangerous storm surge that swamped low-lying areas as residents hunkered down in homes and shelters.
The 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 territory of more than 150,000 people in decades.
