Efforts are now focused on repairing infrastructure and restoring services after the powerful storm hit the island.
Typhoon warnings have been dropped for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands after Typhoon Mawar drifted past the U.S. territories.
Although the center of Mawar stayed offshore, Guam was buffeted by the typhoon’s southern eyewall. The National Weather Service reported winds of over 105 mph on Wednesday. The Guam Power Authority said it is beginning work to restore power to the island. It is focusing on critical infrastructure first, like hospitals and wastewater facilities. Over 98% of its customers lost power at some point during the typhoon.
