Super Typhoon Yagi, classified as Asia's strongest storm of 2024, prompted mass evacuations in southern China, affecting over 400,000 residents and multiple transport links.
Packing maximum sustained winds of 245km/h, Yagi is the world’s second-most powerful tropical cyclone in 2024. The storm led to the relocation of 419,367 residents in Hainan.
As Yagi approaches landfall, authorities in China raised the emergency response level to the third-highest tier, reflecting concerns over severe flooding across affected provinces.
Yagi is anticipated to be the most powerful typhoon to hit China's southern coast since 2014, creating significant challenges for flood prevention and response efforts.
