Authorities across the Chinese mainland are racing against time as Super Typhoon Yagi, the 11th storm of the year, continues to unleash chaos after making two landfalls on Friday. First hitting Hainan Province before slamming into Guangdong, Yagi has left 4 dead and 95 injured in Hainan alone, officials confirmed Saturday.
🌪️ The Typhoon’s Path of Impact
Dubbed a “super typhoon” due to its sustained winds of up to 150 km/h, Yagi triggered mass evacuations, flight cancellations, and power outages. Emergency responders are prioritizing rescue operations in flooded coastal towns, while social media footage shows collapsed trees and submerged streets. Hainan residents described the storm as “one of the worst in recent memory.”
🚨 Government Response & Recovery
China’s emergency management ministry has dispatched thousands of personnel, relief supplies, and drones to assess damage. “We’re working nonstop to restore critical services,” a Hainan official stated. Meanwhile, Guangdong remains on high alert as heavy rains threaten further landslides.
With climate experts linking Yagi’s intensity to warmer ocean temperatures, the storm underscores the urgent need for disaster resilience in coastal regions. Stay tuned for updates. 🌊
