Powerful Typhoon Mawar churned slowly over the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam on Thursday, lashing the island with wind and rain, tearing down trees, walls and power lines, flipping cars, and pushing dangerous storm surge ashore as first-responders waited for daylight to see the extent of the damage.
Mawar passed over the island with sustained winds of 150 mph or more, after residents spent days preparing for severe rain and winds.
