China's second typhoon in a week makes landfall
China has been hit by its second typhoon to make landfall within a week. Authorities evacuated thousands of people from coastal areas as they braced for strong winds and flooding.
The second typhoon to strike China's southern and eastern coastline arrived less than a week after the first major storm made landfall. Meteorological authorities said strong winds and heavy rainfall have raised the risk of flooding and landslides in the region.
Local governments evacuated thousands of residents from coastal villages and low-lying areas. Schools and businesses were temporarily closed, and flights and train services were canceled.
Experts say the back-to-back typhoons may be linked to broader climate patterns. Authorities expect the storm's impact to ease in the coming days.
