Typhoon Matmo is barreling toward southern China, prompting authorities to issue a red alert—the highest warning level—as winds intensify to 42-45 meters per second (Category 14). The storm is expected to make landfall between Guangdong’s Wuchuan and Hainan’s Wenchang by midday Sunday, bringing fierce winds and dangerous waves. 🌊
Local governments in Guangdong have activated a Level I emergency response, urging residents to avoid coastal areas and secure property. The typhoon, moving northwest at 20-25 km/h, is projected to weaken after hitting land, but not before unleashing its full force. 🚨
Travelers and locals are advised to monitor updates from the National Meteorological Center and postpone non-essential trips. Schools, ferries, and flights in affected regions may face disruptions. Stay safe, folks—this is one storm you don’t want to underestimate! 💨
