Typhoon Bavi makes landfall in eastern China

Описание: Typhoon Bavi made landfall in eastern China on Saturday night, the second major storm to hit the country in a week, causing thousands of flight and train cancellations while more than 2.4 million people were evacuated from areas in the path of the storm.Spanning 1,000km (600 miles) at its widest point – roughly the width of mainland France – Typhoon Bavi first came ashore in the coastal city of Taizhou, Zhejiang at 11.12pm before making a second landfall in Wenzhou city around midnight.It has since weakened to a Severe Tropical Storm and is moving northwestward at a speed of 20–25 kilometers per hour, with its intensity gradually diminishing further.But Bavi’s massive rain bands and strong winds are expected to continue and several provinces remain on heightened alert.
