Typhoon To Hit China

Power outages have created significant difficulties for residents, sparking a viral conversation on social media about the challenges of living in a cashless society.

A Chinese city has launched an operation to find a large number of crocodiles that escaped when floods hit the region in recent days, authorities said Tuesday.

Beijing and nearby cities stepped up rescue efforts on Tuesday after rains and floods brought by remnants of Typhoon Doksuri disrupted services and food supplies and claimed 20 lives in one of the worst storms to hit northern China in over a decade.

Typhoon Doksuri hit eastern China on Friday morning, bringing high winds and battering rains to coastal areas after the deadly storm bypassed Taiwan on its way from the Philippines.

The death toll from a typhoon in eastern China rose to 32 on Sunday, with 16 people missing, state broadcaster CCTV reported, as the country braced for more travel disruptions as the storm moved further north up the coast.

A video tweeted by China Xinhua News on September 14 shows a huge moon balloon rolling down busy streets of Fuzhou city in peak traffic, making for a rather weird sight.

The death toll from the strongest typhoon to hit China in nearly 70 years has reached 28, state news said Sunday, days after the storm crashed into the country's coastline.

Typhoon Meranti, stated to be the world's strongest typhoon so far this year, made landfall in east China's Fujian Province early today, causing widespread destruction.

China today issued the highest "red alert" and cancelled hundreds of flights and trains as it braced for violent gales and heavy rains accompanying Typhoon Meranti, which is expected to hit its southern coast.

China's meteorological authority issued a 'blue alert' today for a typhoon expected to hit the southern province of Guangdong, while warning of mountain floods in the southwest due to torrential rains, which have already taken a heavy toll during the last few weeks.

China today cancelled 341 trains in its southeastern Fujian province as the country braced for this year's first typhoon Nepartak approaching the mainland with authorities issuing an early-warning response for disaster relief preparations.

Heavy rain deepened flood misery in farming and mountainous regions of the northern Philippines on Tuesday, after the latest typhoon to hit the storm-ravaged nation killed at least 22 people.

Coastal provinces in southern China braced for a typhoon set to hit the country today, with authorities ordering fishing fleets to stay ashore and cancelling flights and rail services.

One of the most powerful typhoons to strike eastern China in decades disrupted air, rail and sea transport on Saturday after forcing the evacuation of more than a million people from the provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu, state media reported.

More than 40,000 people have been evacuated from China's southern island of Hainan ahead of the expected landfall of the year's first typhoon today, although it should help ease a severe drought, state media said.
