Typhoon Gaemi has unleashed chaos in northeastern China, prompting the relocation of over 27,000 residents in Liaoning Province as torrential rains flood reservoirs and threaten communities. Authorities are racing against the clock to prevent disaster as water levels in 40 reservoirs surpass warning lines.
The storm, this year’s third typhoon, is set to intensify Sunday through Tuesday, with meteorologists predicting “heavy torrential rain” across the region. Emergency response levels were upgraded to Level III—China’s second-highest alert—as teams patrol dikes and evacuate high-risk zones.
Hundreds of chemical plants and mining operations have halted work, moving employees and nearby residents to safety. Local officials emphasize the evacuations are “orderly,” prioritizing lives amid rising flood risks.
For travelers and residents alike: Stay clear of flood-prone areas and monitor updates. With Gaemi’s next wave looming, Liaoning’s crisis highlights the growing climate challenges facing Asia.
