Shanghai, China's bustling financial hub, evacuated 112,000 residents by Friday morning as Typhoon Pulasan made landfall, unleashing torrential rains and disrupting daily life. The storm, which has been dubbed a 'rainmaker' by local meteorologists, shattered records in parts of the city, flooding streets and testing emergency response systems.
💨 Authorities activated 24/7 disaster management protocols, moving vulnerable communities to shelters and suspending flights, trains, and ferry services. Social media buzzed with clips of rescue teams wading through waist-deep water, while local influencers urged followers to 'stay safe and avoid unnecessary risks.'
🏙️ Though Shanghai's iconic skyline remained largely intact, suburban districts bore the brunt of the storm. 'This isn't just another rainy day—it's a wake-up call for climate resilience,' said a volunteer coordinating relief efforts. As Pulasan weakens, officials warn of lingering rains and possible landslides in nearby provinces.
