TWN Readers, there may have been a slight glitch in our system yesterday, so please ignore any email you receive from us that includes a subject line of BLOG APE. We are unsure about what caused this problem and are working towards fixing it. In case you did not receive our Daily Update email yesterday, due to the glitch, you can read it here. Anyway, let's get into today's news.
Right now, a monster typhoon is barreling towards the US territory of Guam, with string winds of up to 160 mph and 25-foot storm surge. Super Typhoon Mawar is expected to hit the island on Wednesday night into Thursday morning US time, and it will be deadly. The winds are bringing massive waves with it, so all citizens have been warned to evacuate low-lying areas. Residents of Guam, good luck, and stay safe.
On another note, if you live near Mexico City, you may want to evacuate or take shelter in a nearby town. The famed, massive volcano near the city, Popocatépetl, has been spewing out ash and smoke recently, and tremors have also been reported across the metropolitan area. Over 25 million people live within a 6o-mile radius of the volcano, so it could be a serious threat to the entire area. Popocatépetl last erupted in 1994, but tremors have been common in Mexico City since the eruption. However, the ash and smoke could be a sign that it could erupt again soon.
Lastly, 19 people are dead after a huge fire in the South American country of Guyana. The fire took place at a school, specifically the girls' dormitory. The local police reported that one student became furious after their phone was confiscated, so they torched the dorm. The student has not been identified, however, but police are working hard to find anyone that may be alive under the rubble and to find out the identity of the arsonist.
