Typhoon Wipha Unleashes Chaos Across Asia: Flights Canceled, Cities Flooded, and Millions Disrupted

Typhoon Wipha swept through Hong Kong, southern China, Vietnam, and parts of Southeast Asia, causing widespread disruption.

The storm brought hurricane-force winds, torrential rain, and flooding, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of flights and the closure of airports and public transport systems. Authorities in Vietnam and China issued emergency alerts, warning of flash floods and landslides, while Hong Kong raised its highest storm warning as the typhoon battered the city. Thousands of travelers were stranded, and infrastructure damage was reported, including toppled trees and power outages.

As Wipha weakened, the region faced ongoing risks from heavy rainfall and residual flooding.
