#NBCNews #Guam #Typhoon
Lucky they are a US territory.
@itzamia but Guam is more important that Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 when it comes to military 🪖
@itzamia Puerto Rico got tens of billions in aid and local politicians stole it all as usual.
@ris rubia It’s a hurricane Maria reference.
Territory? You mean colonization!?
@Jason c Spain colonized it first. We just took it over. Majority of people on those islands are of European decent anyways
I will keep everyone in my prayers
Praying for the people on the Island.
Pray for them they’re American citizens
American citizens that don’t have a right to vote 😕
I think you meant to say U.S. Colony.
@Jason c They can vote if they move to a state but they’re US citizens from birth since they were born on our colony
We are citizens 😂 and we actually do hold votes for prez sadly not counted but hay, that takes time 🤷♂️😁
0:04 Was that video sped up or something? What’s with that voice?
Sounded like a baby
a social media filter
Blessings everyone hope everything is fine greetings from Grenada god is good
I wonder if they get a better response from the United States than PUERTO 🇵🇷 Rico did
@Steven Morrisongot em!
They get better response, Guam is very important territory of US in the pacific. They host airforce and naval base
I doubt the local government in Guam will steal most of the money like Puerto rico.
Don’t count on it, the U.S. could careless about the places it colonizes except for military purposes.
@Jason c waaa 🙁
Guam & Puerto Rico should be US States.
Guam is too far from Hawaii or mainland US. It’s located in Oceania together with Saipan.
Guam is not that far, Mars is farther
Guam has like 170k people. Maybe make it part of Hawaii.
My God! Horrible! 🙏 🙏 🙏
❤🩹
Representative Hank Johnson is probably wondering if it will capsize.
Bunch of Morons today!!
Russia’s fault?
I resided on Guam (military service) for over fourteen years. My wife (of 46 years) is from Barrigada, Guam. Her family resides on Guam. We know how strong typhoon winds, rain and surge can be there. Not to mention the 8.2 earthquake many years ago. I am hoping no lives are lost and they can get the island back to some normalcy very soon. We will support them as much as possible in the next hours, days, months and years. It takes so long to repair and rebuild over there. Guam is a territory of the US and I have seen through the years how difficult it is for the island to get help during a crisis like this. Glad to hear a Navy carrier is headed their way. I know Andersen AFB, Guam will be busy with aid and recovery missions in the next days and weeks to come. My thoughts are with the people of Guam, civilian and military.
Ban typhoons! Something has to be done.
Typhoons, Hurricanes, and Tropical Cyclones is something we can’t control that’s part of Earth so be quiet
How can u ban typhoons?! Can u control the weather?
It’s a joke.
I hope it doesn’t capsize
Was that comment from Democrat Johnson unbelievable? Top five dumbest of all time.
I was stationed on Guam about 2 months after Super Typhoon Pamela … had a couple of Earthquakes while stationed there but no typhoons …
We all get killed by flying Coconut’s
Jesus: did u Now
No way
Coconuts are falling? YOU DON’T SAY!!!!!! What a job…..
Prayers for the people of Guam🙏🙏🙏
😱
Stay safe.
Lord have Mercy on those in Guam!
Correct Statement: “LORD HAVE MERCY On Those In Guam!”
God please help the people in Guam in Jesus name Amen ❤🙏🙏🙏
Yeh, that’s what a typhoon does.
Scary
TYPHOON MAWAR. ( Ma War!)
Guam is the new GITMO for many Deep Staters. The Alliance has HAARP too, not just the Cabal. Following the tracking – it was manipulated by both sides all the way. Is this all the DS has left to try to free them! Ha! – God protect the People of Guam & the White Hats there. Following the tracking – it was manipulated by both sides all the way. Guam is the new GITMO for many deep state prisoners. Is this all the deep state has left to try to free them! Ha! – God protect the People of Guam & the White Hats there. See it zig zag – both sides manipulating. You will notice the typhoon does not come from the area where the surface sea water temps were highest – comes from S-East of that red zone – more proof it was not a natural storm. The low-lying area was saved by the White Hats forcing it Nth of the critical southern area. – Armour of God for the innocent People of Guan, the White Hats & those deep staters whom we want to see facing Justice.
God Wins again!🙌🙏
Nam myoho rengekyo 🙏 pray 🌍 peace be safe
Why does the us help everyone but it’s own
What makes you think they aren’t helping? Do you think the U.S could have told the typhoon to stop?
Guam is part of the United States…
FEMA is already there. Obviously the military is there to assist, and more help is flying in. Why do you say that?
Wym it’s own we are us citizens 😂
The Top 10 Things I don’t care to do includes weathering a typhoon in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Oh my god.. the whole philippines is waiting for u mawaan. 😂
Did it capsize?
aww only 1,500 miles from Japan.
Praying for your safety.Mawar! go! leave Guam!
This is nothing compared to what the Philippines encounters every year.
Bakit sinisingit mo sa usapan ang Pinas? Hindi naman ito tungkol sa Pilipinas at hindi naman po ito kumpetisyon! Hindi mo dapat minemenos ang pinagdadaanan nila! Kaloka ka!
The fact that this typhoon would expect to hit Philippines next.
Literally most of the typhoons that hit the Philippines, usually hits Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands first.
I when to a worship on Sunday because I feel so worry about my Son Dougther in-law and My grandkids I cried a lot 😢😢😢But I know Jesus’have the control about everything 🙏🙏🙏
Sending a curse to the people of Guam.
😂😂😂😂
I used to work at a grocery store in town here with a lady from Guam…I was fascinated because I’d never met anyone from there! She’s very nice, I hope she hadn’t gone back for a visit just now…
Prayers to all people in Guam 😢stay safe !!!
🙏 ❤
Sana umangat di dumaan ng pilipinas be safe everyone
Di nga dadaan pero batak ang habagat para magpaulan
That was not a fun storm. You could feel the drop in air pressure in your ears. The weird air flow in the building was causing overhead panels to aggressively flutter. My apartment balcony door was annihilated into thousands of glass chunks and my surviving windows sounded like they had some unending demonic scream rattling them. After the storm passed, the road behind the apartment building was filled with mangled solar panels and rocks torn off the adjacent cliff.
Sounds terrifying. Glad you’re okay 🙏
Wow, yep, I experienced 2 monster typhoons when I was at Anderson AFB during 1980-81. Happy you survived all that glass!
I had one thought, which was the people of Guam would want the grassroots help if the U.S. Navy is providing assistance, and then the videos stopped on the International reports. I thought I learned Guam is a protectorate; but at the same time, a standing army might not be safe.
I felt our available assets were destroyed, and we know the people who destroyed it. On television, there was a program about an African people who are self-sufficient and use a secluded lake that is kept secret; and they do the same thing in South America. There have been no assessments of the number of animals left and the feasibility; for example, Jane Goodall said if you lose something important at the bottom of the food chain (plankton you could study inside, but I recommend numerous informal projects,) then it can collapse. Polar bear customarily hunt seals, while they tried to study salmon like grizzleys and penguins. One group was studying them and adopted one. The same with the elephants who want to stay in their natural environment. To catch a varmint, I would decorate the cage, and use peanuts inside, but it DID NOT WORK. We used cyanide and we blocked one of the entrances to their den. I would rather have pet squirrels by putting out some peanuts where they try to get in. You need to put a container under your drainpipe. I hate to say this but there has been some emphasis on medium dogs and small dogs, and foxes. And cats. If death is a natural part of the balance, in which they eliminate the weak, overpopulated young, old, and disabled, and they WILL seek out humans when hurt. We had a bird with a hurt wing, an orphan baby cat, and a young pregnant squirrel. I think China did good with those theme parks; but again, I challenge it as a neighborhood project; for example, how many neighbors do you need to feed a pig every day with scraps? It has been done in Egypt, and the pigs were kept in a courtyard before Swine flu. The squirrels were satisfied once they knew we make moccasins out of their brothers, because it is the thought of them being in confinement. . . They are very smart and there should be more laws, because usually a behavior is connected to a medical problem.
😨
And its expected to hit the Philippines over the weekend.
God bless us all.
Damage report sir everything on island is 98% wet or floating.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

Lol malafunkion 😂
The Collapse of these banks has torn into global markets, with investors ripping up their forecasts for further rises in interest rates and dumping bank stocks around the world. I’m at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my dipping $780k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?
In my opinion, some of these banks were attempting to restructure their bond portfolio, which involved selling their low-yielding bonds despite the potential loss, and compensating for it by buying higher-interest-rate bonds on the open market.
I have learned to not trust corporations. I was badly hit by the ’08 financial crisis. Since 2019, I’ve just been focused on investing through a financial advisor, and it has been paying off, and I’m never going back to banks full time.
@Jack joshua Would you mind telling me how to contact this specific coach using their service? Unlike the rest of us, it appears you have figured everything out..
My Financial adviser is *‘’JAMES GIFF GIFFOR ’’* he’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. he has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching him credentials further. he has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
GODBLESSYOUALL
i live there 😂 all my life and grow adult i know how strong the typhoon there and it’s hard with no power and water we tried this for a month i was lucky that we have small fish pond that i filled it up with water just for the rest room used .. God bless everyone i hope u guys will recover very soon
I’m glad my family still in a good situation from this deadly typhoon Thanks God ..
Do people even realize what 140 mph winds are like? I mean HALF that, 70 mph winds, are horrendously destructive.
I had a major branch break off of my huge Deodar Cedar, ~14″ diameter, landing on the neighbor’s roof – damaging it. Our windstorm here in the south San Francisco bay area in March had wind gusts that were around 30-35 mph. Lots of big branches were downed, some trees uplifted. 140 mph? If you go outside and get hit by a pebble it would be like being shot with a gun. (I know bullets are faster than 140 mph, but a 140 mph pebble in the head? Deadly.)
Not every 20. Every year but the 300 mph is more like 5 to ten. Every year at least 100 mph. This is the tropics. It’s fun at 100. Just have to be careful and bring in all the pets and flowers. Trees are fine. Just go bald for awhile. You learn to bbq.
Miss home. Typhoons are fun.
How is a typhoon different, from a hurricane?
Location
Hurricanes in the atlantic and east pacific, Typhoons in the west pacific
Not really different ig it’s location like the people on the top said 🤷♂️ all good from guam though just no power water will hopefully come back on soon 😁👋
Is this an FN joke to you!! Look it up!
Results of climate change
if the cyclone’s wind can flip a pickup truck like that, imagine what it could do to a human.
its not as massive as typhoon oddete. it was so strong no electricity for 3months
I’m in saipan usa, and we felt the tail end of it.
i hope Philippines will not really gonna affect of this typhoon im worried becuase its starting to rain here praying for guam 🙏😔
Will not hit the country but the typhoon will pulled monsoon rains
GUAM AFTERMAT
Having lived there for 2 years in my childhood, I hope that the loss of life minimal. The damage will be intense no doubt.
please pry also Philippines its next to it…
JUST LIKE HYANN…
🥺🥺🥺😟😢😢

First, second and third world problems.
mutong bebet mo
Been there done that in the 1970s
In Jesus name
Wow in Jesus name
sending prayers to the people of Guam, may God Bless and Protect everyone.
Appreciate all the love! Most structures here on Guam are concrete, and thus, it has been reported that no lives were lost. I can’t say that about the island’s many animals though. 😢
Aftermath is Science
May the Lord’s hand of protection cover Guam and the people in the mighty name of Jesus 🙏🏼.
Apparently the winds were too strong for the hand of Jesus. Maybe he could use two hands next time? 👐
