A powerful Typhoon Bavi struck eastern China on Saturday, marking the second major storm to hit the country within a week. The typhoon first made landfall in the coastal city of Taizhou in the evening before reaching Wenzhou around midnight. Authorities evacuated about two million people from disaster-prone areas, including over 1.7 million from Zhejiang Province alone. Flights, train services, schools, and outdoor activities were suspended as precautionary measures.
Before reaching China, Bavi had passed near Japan’s remote islands and northern Taiwan, bringing heavy rainfall, and earlier caused at least 17 deaths in the Philippines due to landslides. Although the storm weakened into a severe tropical storm, it continued to pose risks from intense rainfall and moisture. State media warned of extremely heavy rain in parts of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces on Sunday.
Officials expect the typhoon to gradually lose strength as it moves northwest. The storm follows Typhoon Maysak, which struck southern China earlier in the week, killing at least 39 people and causing significant agricultural losses.
