When Super Typhoon Yagi tore through Hainan Province this weekend, residents described scenes straight out of a disaster movie. 🌪️ \"Windows blew away, even refrigerators,\" said Haikou local Xiaopeng, 39, capturing the storm's surreal intensity. The typhoon claimed four lives and injured 95, leaving shattered communities in its wake.
Eyewitness accounts paint a harrowing picture: Photographer Huang Yiming recalled \"wild shrieks\" of wind hurling bricks and debris through the air overnight. Communication networks crashed, but residents shared chilling photos of buckled buildings and flooded streets via surviving signals.
While Yagi ranks among Hainan's worst storms in recent memory, many praised improved disaster protocols. 🚨 \"We've trained for this,\" one Wenchang resident told CGTN, though power outages and transport chaos continue to challenge recovery efforts.
