Although, there’s no actual estimate of the damage yet, the chief executive officer of the Tinian mayor’s office, William Cing, said it was “very minimal.”
But trees, especially banana trees, fell down and crops were uprooted, he said.
The harbor was also affected by the continuous pounding of the waves, he added.
However, like Rota, Tinian maintained stable power and water supplies despite the typhoon conditions, he said.
There was no report of community members seeking refuge at designated shelters, Cing said.
On Rota, the mayor’s office said it had not received any report from the government agencies there.
“There’s no report on road damage and no report of trees falling down,” said the staff member, who refused to be identified.
But a Rota resident, in a separate interview, said some crops and banana trees were damaged by strong winds.
Rota Junior High School’s Maria Quitugua said no classes were suspended on Monday and Tuesday.
In her assessment report to the Public School System’s central office, Quitugua said they had “no flooding” and there’s nothing to report about the damage caused by the typhoon.
“We don’t have any rain here,” she added.
