Guam - Typhoon 180 MPH winds

Thu Dec 12 06:58:43 UTC 2002

The local telephone company has restored partial commercial service.
Commercial electric service is still down. The cable landing stations and
networks with direct connections remained available throughout the
typhoon.  Other locations lost service when intermediate transmission
facilities on the island lost power or were destroyed.  University of
Guam's systems stayed up throughout the typhon, but lost connectivity
through their upstream provider. Most locations are still operating on
backup power.  A fire at the island's fuel storage farm has caused the
authorities to restrict access to fuel supplies.
