#guam
Lived there many years ago. So thankful and relieved no lives were lost. But the suffering they will experience during the cleanup and recovery will be enormous. So glad our US resources will be helping our fellow Americana, because they are Americans!!!
It always amazes me when people are amazed tropical cyclones happen. They happen 10's of times every year and have since the beginning of recorded time.
It always amazes me when people are amazed that events have different levels of severity. They can be 10's of time worse and have much more impact.
Yeah, I’ve lived in Gulf Coast states my entire life and we don’t even think much about them. We survive them almost every year
@@philip-op6de They have them frequently on Guam as well. This one punched the island right in the mouth. I was on Guam in 1978 burying telephone cable so the communications system wouldn't be damaged as severely as aerial lines. (I'm sure they have fiber optic now) We sat through two typhoons the year I was there. One just came near and the other grazed the southern tip of the island. When one hits them dead on that the damage occurs. It's a tiny island so there's nowhere to go when they get hit.
@@philip-op6de Guam gets wayy stronger storms
This is the equivalent to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, looks the same to me. At least the population in Guam is around 170,000 people, so the recovery could be more swiftly, but it doesn't matter, the devastation is the same. Maria was traumatizing for most of us Puertoricans, can't imagine with this Typhoon.
Thank you for posting this, there is so little information for those of us who have friends and family on Guam.
My heart goes out to all people in Guam ,😂🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad that injuries were minimal.
Many years ago, I spent a beautiful week in Saipan. I’m praying for you all as you recover!
Be far more effective to send money, or go personally and help all you can. Those prayers do nothing, except comfort you.

Bless your heart. You make a lot of assumptions there.
@@anniathome are you doing anything besides talking to the voice in your head to make yourself feel better?
And are you praying for the location you had a beautiful week in, or the people that are affected by the current situation? Would you even care about these humans if you didn't vacation there in the past?
@@CollinGerberding Again, bless your heart. You also make a lot of assumptions. Saipan is part of the Mariana Islands, as is Guam. They didn't get hit as badly as Guam but still had damage. And I didn't say I vacationed there, just that the week was beautiful. Why does my statement seem to anger you and make you want to demean someone you have never met?
So sorry you folks have experienced that…😖😟😔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼praying for Guam…🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Prayers for the people in guam struggling to recover
AS LONG AS NO ONE GOT HURT EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT...
Old power lines. We have steel poles in our area. Underground wires. This area should get that. Since the 80s
I've been to Guam once it was the most expensive place I've ever been in my life besides California
Wherever there's a U.S. flag, you know it's gonna be expensive.
Wow! Expensive in Guam? Didn't know, thanks.
Yeah, it's kind of like Hawaii for the Japanese. I was on a Navy ship home-ported there in 85-86.
Got scuba-certified, did a bunch of snorkeling, rode bicycles and motorcycles.
It was one of the best times of my life.
When my time was up at the end of 88, I passed through Guam on my way back to the States.
There was a bunch of new hotels. It had become so commercial and everyone was already talking about prices going up back then.
I would recommend cheaper vacation destinations for budget-minded regular folks (like me)
@@JimEnger Left Oahu when Trump Tower was a thought. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

I appreciate the appreciation, but it was peacetime.
Plenty of menial labor, but also as I said, some of the best times of my life.
Carry on, patriot.
Vote Quimby !

I'm sure Guamanians will. Newbies don't know. Even the coconut trees adapt to the weather and wind. Honestly we re used to 200mph winds and know what to do. Totally love the wind and cooler weather.
For a local perspective look up the local news from Pacific daily news. They've been there since I was a kid in the 70s. Every news article so far from mainlanders are over the top. 200 mph is normal for the Asia Pacific area. Mph not kmph.
But why is nothing happening right now 2 days and nothing 😕 period sickening
Be safe famz🙏
bro my family flew away
"Big water." "Ocean water."
What’s going on??
MA WaR - NICE ONE
US Carrier is on its way ... be stong fellow US citizens!
It will all come back. It just takes time.
Still green with grass and coconut trees and tangantangan trees...very bendable.
Looks like the forrest is on chemo
🙏
Doesn't the Navy help you? Nuclear submarines generate power. So?

"Should have joined 'FEMA PRIME'....". Donny to the rescue!
consequences of our actions are only going to get worse
What actions created this?
Lol you green weirdos always think the sky is falling.
???
Consequences of Agenda 20/30 are already severely effecting us, but a generation of brainwashed kids approve.
Agree, consequences of global warming may be harder than we thought and sooner too.
Can creepy jo help them out or is all the money going to Ukraine
Hopefully poor lowly US taxpayers get to send guam tens of billions of dollars
do you hold this disdain all US citizens of just those not born on the mainland?
what an unkind thing to say. These innocent people did nothing wrong. They need and deserve help.
