Powerful Storm Hits Taizhou
Typhoon Bavi has made landfall in the eastern Chinese city of Taizhou after authorities evacuated nearly two million people from areas expected to be affected by the powerful storm.
The typhoon brought heavy rain, strong winds and dangerous conditions, prompting emergency measures across several provinces.
Chinese authorities ordered mass evacuations ahead of the storm's arrival, relocating residents from low-lying and high-risk areas to safer shelters.
Emergency services were deployed to monitor flood-prone communities, reinforce infrastructure and respond to any storm-related incidents.
The severe weather led to the suspension of some transportation services, including flights, ferry operations and rail services, while schools and businesses in affected areas were closed as a precaution.
Officials warned residents to remain indoors and follow safety advisories until conditions improve.
Local governments are assessing the impact of the typhoon on homes, infrastructure and agriculture as the storm moves inland.
Disaster management agencies remain on high alert, with rescue teams and relief supplies positioned to respond quickly to flooding, landslides or other emergencies.
