Typhoon Wipha has battered parts of Southeast and East Asia, including Vietnam, Hong Kong, southern China, and the Philippines, causing widespread travel chaos, flooding, and power outages.
The storm forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights, closed airports, and disrupted public transport, stranding tens of thousands of travelers. Authorities in Vietnam and China issued emergency alerts, warning of flash floods and landslides as torrential rains inundated coastal and inland areas. Hong Kong experienced its highest storm warning, with hurricane-force winds toppling trees and injuring dozens.
As Wipha weakened to a tropical storm, its remnants continued to bring heavy rain and the risk of further flooding across the region.
