Guam is bracing to be hit by the potentially “catastrophic” Super Typhoon Mawar.
The tropical cyclone is expected to bring deadly winds over 150 mph and a 25-foot storm surge, becoming the strongest weather event to impact the U.S. territory in decades.
The typhoon is expected to hit the Micronesian island around noon local time on Wednesday (10 p.m. ET), bringing with it as much as 20 inches of rain. Waves in the Pacific Ocean are already reaching 45 feet as the storm moves north-northwest.
