Typhoon Gaemi, this season's first major storm, is unleashing chaos across Southeast Asia with torrential rains and destructive winds. The Philippines faced the brunt first, as Manila's streets transformed into rivers on July 24, submerging homes, schools, and hospitals in chest-deep water. Over 50,000 residents fled to emergency shelters —a scene locals described as 'like a disaster movie.'
Now, Gaemi has slammed into the northeastern coast of China's Taiwan region, threatening landslides and power outages. Authorities urge residents to avoid travel as emergency teams brace for further flooding.
While the typhoon weakens slightly, its remnants could trigger more downpours in Vietnam and Laos this weekend. Climate experts warn such intense storms may become more frequent due to warming ocean temperatures—a trend echoing global climate concerns.
Stay tuned with NewspaperAmigo.com for real-time updates as Gaemi's story unfolds.
