Guam Typhoon

Guam residents say that if given the choice they would rather face the wrath of "crazy" Kim Jong Un than the power of a typhoon, as they count down towards a threatened North Korean missile attack.

Guam's governor on Thursday said the US territory was "well-equipped" to handle any North Korean strike thanks to robust infrastructure that had survived earthquakes and typhoons, after Pyongyang released a detailed plan to launch missiles towards the island.

Power and water supplies were cut in many areas of the Pacific island of Guam on Saturday, a day after a typhoon brought strong wind and heavy rain that uprooted trees and tore off roofs.

Residents in storm wrecked areas of Micronesia appealed for help today as a cleanup began on the worst affected islands after Super Typhoon Maysak swept through the region on its way towards the Philippines.

The death toll from a typhoon that triggered massive landslides on a Japanese island rose to 29 on Saturday, as officials advised residents to take shelter in anticipation of more heavy rain.
