Guam and Mariana Islands in danger of incoming Super Typhoon potentially strongest in 20 years

Luke 21:25 ““And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves

Important Takeaways:

  • Super Typhoon Mawar Could Be Guam’s Strongest In 20 Years With Destructive Storm Surge, Winds, Flooding Rain
  • A super typhoon is headed toward Guam.
  • Peak impacts are expected Wednesday, local time.
  • Damaging storm surge flooding, high winds and flash flooding from heavy rain are all expected.
  • Mawar became a super typhoon early Tuesday (U.S. Eastern Daylight Time), which means it has winds of at least 150 mph. That’s the equivalent of a strong Category 4 hurricane. It’s possible Mawar could briefly hit Category 5 strength as it nears Guam.
  • Storm surge: A life-threatening surge of 6 to 10 feet, locally up to 15 feet, above normal tide levels is possible Wednesday near the coasts in Guam and Rota, especially near and just north of where Mawar’s center tracks.
  • Heavy rainfall: Up to 20 inches of rain is possible in Guam and Rota, and up to 6 inches of rain could fall over Saipan and Tinian. This heavy rain is likely to trigger dangerous flash flooding and, in areas of higher terrain, landslides.
