Super Typhoon Yagi Bears Down on China, Vietnam

Date:

Super typhoon, Yagi, is barreling towards southern China, prompting widespread disruptions and precautions. The storm has already caused devastation in the Philippines, resulting in at least 13 fatalities and triggering floods and landslides on the main island of Luzon.

As Yagi intensified into a super typhoon, China’s Hainan province upgraded its emergency response to the highest level, suspending schools, work, and local transport services. The typhoon is expected to make landfall on Friday afternoon, packing winds of up to 209 kilometers per hour.

In Hong Kong, the weather observatory issued a typhoon warning, limiting public transport and suspending classes at kindergarten and special schools. Several flights have been rescheduled or canceled due to the weather.

After affecting southern China, Yagi is forecasted to move towards Vietnam, specifically the northern and north-central regions, including the UNESCO heritage site Halong Bay. Vietnam’s meteorological agency has issued a storm warning, mobilizing military personnel and preparing rescue vehicles.

The storm’s trajectory and intensity have prompted authorities to take necessary precautions, including sailing bans and emergency response measures. Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay vigilant and follow official instructions to ensure their safety.
