The impact of Super Typhoon Marva on northern Guam caused a widespread power outage

Xinhua News Agency, May 24, according to a report in the New York Times on May 24 local time, Super Typhoon "Marva" swept past the northern part of Guam in the United States on the evening of the 23rd, bringing strong winds, lightning, and heavy rain to the area, and causing a large-scale power outage. It is reported that "Marva" has the power of a Category 4 hurricane (the highest level is Category 5) and is the strongest storm to hit Guam in recent years. According to the Guam Power Authority, affected by the storm, the island's power grid in the afternoon of the 23rd can only supply electricity to about 1000 of its about 52000 electricity customers. The dangerous weather conditions brought by the storm also made it impossible for maintenance personnel to restore power services in time.
