More than 1100 people have taken refuge in shelters as the centre of a powerful Pacific typhoon glances off Guam, hammering the US territory with high winds, rain and huge waves.
The storm knocked out power, downed trees and cancelled flights on Friday as it lumbered through a channel between Guam and the tiny tropical island of Rota.
The National Weather Service said gusts were expected to gradually decrease to "non-damaging" winds by sunrise.
One injury resulted from Typhoon Dolphin, and that person was taken to a Guam hospital, Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Jenna Gaminde said.
There were also reports of broken power transformers, said Oyaol Ngirairikl from the Joint Information Centre. Ngirairikl said more would be known about damage from the typhoon on Saturday.
Weather service meteorologist Patrick Chen said earlier that the weather service lost radar, but based on satellite imagery, he said the storm's centre was moving away from the Marianas Islands, which includes Guam.
Guam is home to about 160,000 people. It is known for white beaches and historic World War II battle sites, and it depends heavily on tourism.
