Typhoon Yagi Second Landfall

Super Typhoon Yagi made its second landfall in southern China’s Guangdong Province on Friday night, forcing nearly one million people to evacuate. The wind speed exceeds 200 km per hour, disrupting transport routes, closing schools, and suspending operations across both Guangdong and Hainan provinces.

The 11th typhoon to hit China this year intensified into a super typhoon, with maximum wind speeds of 208.8 km per hour at its center during the second landfall. In addition, 72 of Guangdong’s 94 waterway passenger routes were suspended, and at least 141 pairs of high-speed trains were canceled. Schools in 10 cities across the province were also temporarily closed.
