No mercy for China! Typhoon In-Fa hits Zhoushan, Zhejiang. Storm Infa.
Typhoon "In-Fa" made landfall in the Putuo District of the city of Zhoushan, China's eastern province of Zhejiang. At the time of landfall, In-Fa had a maximum wind speed of 137 km/h (85 mph).
Strong winds produced by In-Fa were also felt in Shanghai where about 360 000 people were evacuated and all inbound and outbound flights canceled for its two international airports. Schools, markets, and businesses were closed ahead of landfall and more than 1.5 million people evacuated. Dozens of scheduled trains were canceled, while activity at the two of the world's largest ports -- Shanghai and Ningbo, were temporarily shut down.
After flooding 6 kilometres (4 miles) of roads in Zhoushan with seawater and felling around 1,000 trees in Shanghai on Sunday afternoon, the typhoon was due to make a second landfall on the coast between Zhejiang's Jiaxing city and Jiangsu province's Qidong city. Both Shanghai, home to about 26 million people, and Hangzhou to the south cancelled inbound and outbound flights from Saturday, and many train services in the region were also halted.
The storm has destroyed more than 4,700 trees on the streets. The typhoon also affected the electricity supply, with some residents of Pudong and Minhang districts complaining of blackouts to the Shanghai branch of the State Grid Corporation of China, a state-owned utility company. Shanghai officials evacuated 362,000 people last week ahead of the typhoon. 1,800 ships were also withdrawn from the city’s nearby harbours and moved to safer locations.
