TL;DR Summary

Two weeks after Typhoon Mawar hit Guam, thousands of residents are still without water or electricity. The storm caused $112 million in damage to the island's commercial sector. However, recovery efforts are steadily ongoing, with Guam Power Authority restoring 66% of its system load and Guam Waterworks Authority restoring the majority of its wells. The government expects Guam to be up to 95% recovered in one month. Various federal agencies, including FEMA and the Army Corps of Engineers, are assisting with recovery efforts. Despite the challenges, residents are taking the recovery process in stride.
