Super Typhoon Ragasa, packing winds of up to 221 km/h, is set to slam into Guangdong Province on Wednesday, prompting mass evacuations and emergency preparations across southern China. 🚨 The storm—the 18th typhoon this year—could unleash torrential rains and dangerous flooding in coastal regions from Shenzhen to Xuwen.
As of Tuesday morning, Ragasa was churning over the northern South China Sea, moving northwest at 20-25 km/h. Authorities warn of life-threatening conditions, including flash floods and landslides, as the typhoon weakens post-landfall. East China provinces like Jiangsu and Zhejiang will also face heavy downpours. ☔
Local governments are scrambling: Guangdong upgraded its wind emergency response to Level I—the highest alert—while Hainan boosted flood-and-wind measures. Work teams from the Ministry of Water Resources have deployed to monitor rivers at risk of overflowing. 🚧
Travelers and residents in affected areas are urged to avoid coastal zones and follow evacuation orders. Stay tuned for updates! 📲
