What to do
Destructive winds of 115 to 135 mph will spread across far southern Guam, producing swaths of significant to catastrophic damage, particularly to non-concrete structures.
TAKE COVER NOW! The safest place to be during a major typhoon passage is in a reinforced interior room away from windows. If you are not in a fully-concrete structure, get under a table or other piece of sturdy furniture. Use mattresses, blankets or pillows to cover your head and body. Remain in place through the passage of these life-threatening conditions.
