Typhoon Bavi, the most powerful storm to strike mainland China this year, hit the eastern coast on Sunday, bringing heavy rain and violent winds to densely populated cities. The storm made landfall after passing near Taiwan, prompting authorities in China to initiate emergency preparations.
According to Al Jazeera, China began mobilizing resources as Typhoon Bavi moved away from Taiwan. The storm's trajectory placed several coastal provinces on high alert, with officials warning of potential flooding and infrastructure damage. Evacuations and transport disruptions were reported in affected regions.
Timeslive reported that Bavi lashed urban centers along the eastern seaboard with intense wind and prolonged rainfall, raising concerns over landslides and storm surges. Meteorologists warned of continued adverse conditions in the coming days as the system moved inland.
The China Meteorological Administration issued red-level alerts, the highest on its warning scale, for several provinces. State media confirmed that emergency response teams were deployed to assist with flood control and rescue operations.
Regional authorities have suspended ferry services, halted construction activities, and urged residents to remain indoors. No casualties were immediately reported, but officials warned that the storm's impact could worsen as rains persist.
