Typhoon Karen, the most powerful tropical cyclone to ever impact Guam.
Guam is an island territory of the United States, located in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, and is part of the Mariana Islands. Guam lies in the path of typhoons and it is common for the island to be threatened by tropical depressions and storms, and occasional typhoons during the wet season. The highest risk of typhoons is from August through November. They can, however, occur year-round. This is a list of typhoons that caused deaths, injuries and/or damage on Guam.
Typhoons are monitored by the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center and due to the potential damage typhoons can cause, the tropical cyclones are concerns towards civilian and military communities on the island.[1] Some of the typhoons that had significantly impacted Guam between 1945 and 2000 were Typhoon Karen of 1962, Pamela of 1976, Omar of 1992, and Paka of 1997.
