Reports are emerging from Guam about the damage left behind by Typhoon Mawar
A newborn lies in a hospital bassinet in Tamuning, Guam on May 25, 2023. Many, including newborns, remain without electricity as Guam recovers from Typhoon Mawar. HONOLULU — — About a week after Typhoon Mawar tore through Guam as the strongest typhoon to hit the U.S. Pacific territory in over two decades, most of the island remained without electricity and the governor appealed for patience during a recovery process expected to take at least a month.
There have been long lines for gas and officials estimate it will be four to six weeks before power is fully restored. FEMA did not yet know exactly how many homes were destroyed. High school graduations were indefinitely postponed across Guam. "Guam has done a good job at hardening parts of their system," since Super Typhoon Pongsona struck the island in 2002, he said.
Gyuri Kim was in labor with her first baby as the typhoon lashed Guam, flooding the hospital and leaving walls shuddering.After delivering her baby girl, she had to wait outside in a hallway on a recliner chair because there wasn’t a room available because of the flood damage, she told the AP in text messages Saturday.
“We’re patiently waiting for power and water to come back,” she wrote. “Grace is doing fine! I just feel bad whenever she sweats a lot.”“And it was just an incredible, incredible ordeal that these women had to go through,” Dr. Thomas Shieh told the AP. “Some of them were in a lot of pain and there was no . It was horrible.”
“Yes, we're recovering. The island is cleaning up fairly well,” he said, but more needs to be done to get resources and information to people. “I just think we didn't plan well enough.”
