Typhoon Wipha has battered multiple countries across Asia, including Vietnam, Hong Kong, southern China, Taiwan, and the Philippines, causing widespread travel chaos, flooding, and power outages.
The storm forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights, closed airports, and suspended public transport, stranding tens of thousands of travelers. Authorities in Vietnam and China placed coastal regions on emergency alert, warning of flash floods and landslides as torrential rains inundated cities and rural areas alike. Hong Kong issued its highest storm warning, with hurricane-force winds toppling trees and injuring dozens, while southern China braced for further storms and flooding in Wipha's wake.
