China is preparing for one of its strongest storms ever as Super Typhoon Yagi is set to make landfall, potentially causing severe damage and flooding.
Super Typhoon Yagi underwent 'an impressive period of extreme rapid intensification,' with maximum sustained winds jumping 70 mph within 24 hours, indicating its sheer power.
With winds peaking at 155 mph, Yagi is only 2 mph shy of Category 5, marking it as a super typhoon and the most intense storm in the South China Sea in 55 years.
Chinese authorities have taken preventive measures, closing schools and offices as Yagi approaches, which is expected to bring dangerous storm surges to coastal areas.
