More than 1,100 people took refuge in shelters early Saturday as the center of a powerful Pacific typhoon glanced off Guam, hammering the U.S. territory with high winds, rain and huge waves, AP reported. The storm knocked out power, downed trees and canceled flights Friday as it lumbered through a channel between Guam and the tiny island of Rota. Typhoon Dolphin packed maximum winds of 110 mph (177 kph) before its center started moving away from the tropical islands. The National Weather Service said gusts were expected to gradually decrease to "non-damaging" winds by sunrise. One injury has resulted from the storm, and that person was taken to a Guam hospital, Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Jenna Gaminde said. She had no additional information on the injury. -- SPA 22:36 LOCAL TIME 19:36 GMT تغريد
