Super typhoon Yagi, with winds of 150 mph, threatens southern China, prompting emergency measures including evacuations, school closures, and significant travel disruptions as it approaches Hainan.
With forecasts predicting heavy rainfall exceeding 20 inches in some regions, Guangdong and Hainan provinces raised their emergency response efforts to the highest level, urging residents to stay home.
This storm is poised to be the strongest to impact Hainan in a decade, with expected landfall set for Friday evening, followed by a weaker storm hitting northern Vietnam.
In advance of Yagi’s arrival, residents in Hainan were evacuated and nonessential activities halted, as authorities took extensive precautions to mitigate potential landslide and flood risks.
