The rapidly strengthening storm reached the equivalent of a high-end Category 4 hurricane Tuesday afternoon on approach to the island. Its peak winds of 155 mph are just a few ticks shy of top-tier Category 5 strength and qualify it as “super typhoon,” meaning it has maximum winds of at least 150 mph
Here is Mawar's timeline: The closest approach of the center – and the most severe impact – is expected near Guam on Wednesday. Typhoon force winds (74 mph or greater) will arrive Wednesday morning. (Guam is 14 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Daylight Time).
