Typhoon Wreaks Havoc on Guam (Associated Press)

"A typhoon dumped 8 inches of rain as it landed on the northern end of Guam
on Friday morning, packing sustained winds of up to 75 mph and gusts to 90
mph, the National Weather Service said.

Typhoon Chata'an wreaked havoc on Guam after passing through the Federated
States of Micronesia, where it killed 37 people and injured more than 100
others.

The high winds damaged some schools and left Guam Memorial Hospital with
some leaking and flooding, Javellana said. The winds also downed power
lines and knocked out landline communications, he said.

The entire island was without electrical power, leaving some villages with
little or no water, the Guam Power Authority reported.

The island's A.B. Won Pat International Airport was closed during the day
but reopened at 6 p.m., Javellana said.

Some 1,700 people were in shelters, mostly in public schools at the
northern end of the island, about 3,200 miles west of Hawaii, he said.

After passing Guam, the typhoon, packing maximum sustained winds of 115 mph
and gusts to 145 mph, moved to the west-northwest at 12 mph into open
water, National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Mundell said. He said the
storm posed no threat to land for several days."
