Typhoon Mawar pounds Guam with winds, rain and waves

Typhoon Mawar is making a direct strike on Guam Wednesday with powerful winds, torrential rainfall and storm surge. The tropical cyclone had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph at its closest pass to the U.S. territory, making it the equivalent of a strong Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
