Friend, oceanographer, was supposed to fly out yesterday morning for there…they cancelled his flight until Thursday. Lots of shite to map now.

I looked up to see when the last time Guam was hit. It was in 2002


Typhoon Pongsona


Third lowest recorded atmospheric pressure, after the Typhoon of 1900 and Karen. Typhoon Pongsona also left 65% of the island's water wells inoperable,[13] with most of Guam left without water service following the storm.[14] Officials estimate the typhoon destroyed 1,300 homes, severely damaged 1,825, and lightly damaged 4,800.[15] Damage totaled over $700 million (2002 USD, $1.05 billion 2023 USD).
