The United States territory of Guam is assessing the damage after Typhoon Mawar swept across the Pacific island bringing torrential rain as well as tree-shredding winds and whipping up a storm surge that crashed through its coral reefs.
The central and northern parts of the island were deluged in 60cm (more than 2 feet) of rain as the storm’s eye passed, Brandon Aydlett, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service (NWS) told the Associated Press news agency.
