Over a million people were moved to safety as the powerful storm made multiple landfalls, prompting a red alert and widespread travel disruptions.
More than one million people were evacuated across eastern China by Sunday evening as Typhoon Dolphin made landfall, bringing fears of extensive flooding and landslides. The powerful storm struck the region after Beijing issued its highest storm alert, leading to significant precautionary measures.
Coastal cities in Zhejiang province, including Wenzhou, reported relocating over 900,000 residents and establishing more than 1,500 emergency shelters. In neighbouring Fujian province, an additional 98,900 individuals were moved from areas deemed high-risk. Authorities have cautioned that several days of intense rainfall could exacerbate the risk of widespread flooding and trigger landslides as the typhoon progresses further inland and northward.
Typhoon Dolphin made two separate landfalls in eastern China on Sunday evening, according to official reports. The severe weather event led to substantial disruptions in public transport, with over 1,000 flights cancelled and certain rail services suspended in the affected regions. The national weather agency had issued a red alert, signifying the highest level of storm warning, underscoring the potential severity of the typhoon's impact.
