Typhoon Gimi is barreling across the Taiwan Strait, setting its sights on China's Fujian Province. As the high-speed railway system shuts down, affecting over 260 trains, and ferries are suspended, the region is preparing for the worst. But what exactly is in store for the residents of Fujian?
The typhoon, which made landfall on the northeastern coast of Taiwan, has already caused chaos, triggering heavy rains and floods. With winds reaching up to 230 km/h, it's the strongest typhoon to hit the island in eight years. At least two deaths have been confirmed, and the situation is only expected to worsen as Gimi heads towards China.
While Hong Kong is experiencing scorching temperatures of up to 35°C due to the typhoon's outer edges, the scene in mainland China is drastically different. As Gimi approaches, forecasters predict heavy rain and potential flooding. In response, authorities have evacuated approximately 150,000 people, primarily from coastal areas, and have asked fishing boats to seek shelter in harbors.
The true danger lies in the rain. Forecasters warn that Fujian could see up to 600 millimeters of rainfall during the typhoon. This is particularly concerning considering China has already been dealing with persistent heavy rain, leading to deadly flooding and landslides in recent weeks.
Typhoon Gimi's impact on Taiwan has been devastating. At least two people have died, and more than 200 have been injured. Over half a million people have been left without power, and the financial markets, schools, and offices have been closed. A freighter carrying nine people from Myanmar has also run into trouble off the coast of the southern port of Kaohsiung, with a search operation ongoing.
The typhoon's wrath was evident as a sign fell off a building and parts of buildings collapsed onto cars. Gimi had reached Category 4 hurricane strength and was expected to make landfall in Taiwan on Wednesday afternoon. However, it struck the mountains and veered off the coast for several hours before swinging back around and blowing past the northern part of Taiwan.
As the region braces for the typhoon's impact, it's crucial for residents to stay informed and heed the warnings of authorities. For the latest updates, make sure to subscribe to our channel. Together, we can navigate this storm and ensure the safety of all those affected.
