What typhoon Marwar left after the Storm

Much of Guam was without power and running water after the typhoon. Winds and rains battered the western Pacific island but caused no fatalities or serious injuries. Residents in the US territory were ordered to boil their water until further notice because the water might not work for a long time and generators were damaged by Typhoon Mawar, according to local media and Guam’s water authority. The typhoon’s winds were 150mph and the wind ripped off roofs, homes, flipped vehicles upside down and made trees fall, and power lines fall. The power lines fell so there were power outages in Guam for a while.

A lot of villages had little or no water on Friday, police sergeant Paul Tapao said. Survey and work crews were assessing damage at military installations, where staffing levels were cut to essential personnel only, according to the military’s Joint Region Marianas. The central parts of the island got more than 60 cm of rain as the storm was passing. The airport was expected to resume operations next Tuesday, officials said.
