Many residents of Guam were without power and utilities Thursday after Typhoon Mawar tore through the remote US Pacific territory the night before and ripped roofs off homes, flipped vehicles and shredded trees.

There were minor injuries reported but no fatalities, according to the governor’s office. Guam Homeland Security’s Office of Civil Defense announced Thursday evening that Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero returned the island to its typical condition of typhoon readiness.
