Typhoon Bavi, once a formidable super typhoon, made a powerful landfall in eastern China’s Zhejiang province, prompting mass evacuations as authorities prepared for its fierce impact.
The storm wreaked havoc in the Philippines first, claiming at least 18 lives and triggering severe flooding that forced nearly 2 million residents in China to flee their homes in anticipation of its arrival.
Although Bavi was downgraded to a severe tropical storm upon landfall, it unleashed relentless winds and torrential rains, raising fears of widespread flooding and landslides across eastern and northern China.
Major cities like Shanghai and Hangzhou faced significant disruptions, with nearly 1,200 flights canceled and rail services suspended, hindering evacuation and emergency response efforts.
The storm had previously pounded Japan’s southern islands with violent winds and heavy rain before shifting its course toward Taiwan and ultimately impacting China’s coast.
Emergency measures were put in place as rescue teams prepared to address the damage, assess casualties, and manage ongoing threats from landslides and flooding in the wake of the storm's devastation.
