Super Typhoon Yagi has officially been named the strongest autumn typhoon to hit China since 1949, according to the China Meteorological Administration. 🌊 The storm, which battered multiple regions last week, maintained super typhoon status for 64 hours—longer than most Marvel movie marathons! 💥
Yagi made landfall twice on Friday, first in tropical Hainan and later in Guangdong. High winds toppled bus stops (like the one in Haikou, Hainan) and disrupted daily life, but authorities confirm tourist hubs like Sanya have now reopened. 🏝️
Experts say a rare combo of monsoon activity, tropical moisture, and favorable atmospheric conditions turbocharged Yagi. 🌀 Though downgraded to a tropical depression, its remnants could still trigger heavy rain in Guangxi and Yunnan, with flood and landslide risks. Stay safe, folks! 🚨
