Sadly, today is the one-year anniversary of the terrible Uvalde school shooting in Texas that killed 21 people on this day in 2022, so let's take a moment of silence to honor all of the children, faculty, and staff of Robb Elementary School who were ruthlessly killed that day.
Now, let's get into today's news.
The monster Super Typhoon Mawar officially made landfall in the US island territory of Guam at 5 pm local time, bringing 25-foot storm surge, heavy rain, and sustained winds of up to 160 mph. The island passed right through the eyewall, the strongest part of the storm, doing serious damage to Guam. The hurricane's winds momentarily dropped to about 140 mph when it was passing over Guam, but it then restrengthened afterwards and is now cruising over the Philippine Sea. Thankfully, it is expected to start weakening before it hits the Philippines and Taiwan. Meanwhile, rescue and clean up efforts are now kicking into high gear back in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands to help any people that may be trapped under rubble or mud.
On another note, the 'Queen of Rock n' Roll' has sadly passed away. Tina Turner, who was 83, died in her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland, which is located near the city of Zurich. She seems to have died of her many illnesses, having been confirmed with intestinal cancer, kidney failure, high blood pressure, and she even had a stroke in 2013. However, Tina Turner may have passed on, but she will always be remembered through her music.
