Guam Struggles with Power and Water Outages After Typhoon Mawar

Thousands of residents in Guam are still without power and water more than a week after Typhoon Mawar hit the island. The Category 4 storm was the strongest to hit the island since 2002, and while it spared lives, it flooded homes, tore roofs, downed power lines, and damaged water wells. About half of the island remains without water, and about 65% remains without power. It may be another three to four weeks until the majority of the island has reliable power and water, and another four to six weeks until power and water are fully restored.
