TL;DR Summary

Guam residents prepare for Typhoon Mawar, the strongest storm to approach the US Pacific territory in decades, with winds of around 140 mph (225 kph) but could possibly strengthen to a Category 5. The US military sent away ships, and President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration. Anyone not living in a concrete house was urged to seek safety elsewhere. Nearly every home in the village has a mango tree, which officials warned could be ripped from the ground and become roadblocks and deadly flying projectiles.
