Abstract
The article focuses on Typhoon Mawar, a Category 4 super typhoon that struck Guam, a U.S. Pacific territory, bringing extreme winds, heavy rains, and a life-threatening storm surge. The National Weather Service warned of significant damage, including structural destruction and prolonged utility outages, while residents and U.S. military personnel took extensive precautions. Guam, home to over 150,000 people and a strategic U.S. military hub, experienced its strongest storm in decades, with updated building codes mitigating some damage to concrete structures. The typhoon's impact included blocked roads from uprooted trees and widespread preparations by the local population ahead of the storm.
