Super Typhoon Mawar wreaks havoc in Guam and Philippines.

Super Typhoon Mawar, the strongest storm on the planet this year, is moving towards Taiwan after hitting Guam. The storm has sustained winds of 165 miles per hour, equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane. The Philippines and Taiwan are warned to keep a close watch on the storm. Despite its strength, Guam escaped with no fatalities, but suffered power and water outages. The storm is expected to peak on Saturday afternoon before losing strength and slowing down mid-week next week.

Super Typhoon Mawar: The Most Powerful Storm in Over 2 Years.

Super Typhoon Mawar, the most powerful storm system on Earth in over two years, is currently raging through the Pacific with winds of 165 mph and 70-foot waves. The storm is expected to maintain Category 5-equivalent strength for days before weakening upon eventual approach to Taiwan. Mawar is among the top 10 strongest storms to occur globally since 2000 and matches the strongest storms ever observed worldwide during the month of May. The storm is a product of natural randomness but fits into a pattern of more intense storms and storms more prone to rapid intensification in an era earmarked by warming oceans and human-induced climate change.

Typhoon Mawar's Path of Destruction: Guam, Philippines, Taiwan

Super Typhoon Mawar, with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph, is heading towards the Philippines and Taiwan after hitting Guam with the force of a Category 4 hurricane. The storm is expected to intensify over the next three days and bring heavy rain to the Philippines. It is likely to stay north of the Philippines, but some forecast models show it affecting the northern portion of Luzon. After the weekend, the storm could potentially move towards Taiwan or northwest towards Japan, depending on the timing of other weather systems in the area.

Typhoon Mawar wreaks havoc on Guam with deadly winds and power outages.

Super Typhoon Mawar hit Guam with winds of 140 mph, cutting power to most of the island and causing flash-flooding. The US military sent away ships as a standard precaution, and President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration. Guam is a US territory in the Pacific Ocean home to about 170,000 Americans, and the Department of Defense controls about a third of the island.

Super Typhoon Mawar poses triple threat to Guam.

Guam is bracing for Super Typhoon Mawar, which is expected to bring torrential rains, life-threatening storm surge, and Category 4 hurricane-force winds. President Joe Biden has signed an emergency declaration to mobilize resources. The storm is expected to hit southern Guam around midday Wednesday, with the inner core crossing over the island as a powerful Category 4 or 5 equivalent storm. Evacuations of low-lying areas have been mandated, and loss of power and access to water is likely to last days, if not weeks, after the storm passes.

Super Typhoon Mawar threatens Guam with deadly winds and storm surge due to climate change.

Super Typhoon Mawar, which is approaching Guam, has rapidly gained strength due to warmer ocean waters caused by climate change. Rapid intensification of storms is becoming more common, making them more dangerous as there is less time to warn people. Climate change also makes storm surge and inland flooding more severe, with Guam and the Mariana Islands being particularly vulnerable due to rising seas.

Super Typhoon Mawar threatens Guam with catastrophic damage.

Super Typhoon Mawar, potentially the strongest tropical cyclone to hit Guam in decades, is expected to directly hit the island with winds up to 160 mph and storm surge up to 25 feet. Guam's Office of Civil Defense has issued a typhoon warning and advised residents to seek shelter immediately. President Joe Biden has declared an emergency in Guam and ordered federal assistance.

Super Typhoon Mawar threatens Guam with catastrophic effects.

Super Typhoon Mawar is expected to hit Guam on Wednesday afternoon with deadly winds equivalent to a category 5 hurricane, exceptional storm surge, and torrential rainfall. If it makes a direct landfall, it would be the strongest storm to hit Guam in over 60 years. The island is at risk of extensive damage to buildings, uprooted trees, and power outages. A storm surge up to 25 feet and flash flooding are also expected, with landslides becoming likely as the ground becomes saturated.
