Typhoon Mawar threatens Guam with deadly winds and storm surge.

Guam issued flash flood and extreme wind warnings as Typhoon Mawar approached the Pacific U.S. territory, with winds of up to 140 mph. Residents were asked to shelter indoors, and those in low-lying coastal and flood-prone areas were ordered to evacuate to higher ground. Some U.S. Coast Guard ships sailed away from the territory, and President Biden approved an emergency declaration. Guam has a long record of tropical storms, and weather officials expect tropical storm-force winds to persist into Thursday morning.
