Typhoon Wipha has battered Hong Kong, southern China, and northern Vietnam, causing widespread disruption, flooding, and travel chaos.
The storm forced the cancellation of over 500 flights in Hong Kong alone, with airports and public transport systems across the region severely affected. Authorities in Vietnam and China placed coastal provinces on emergency alert, mobilizing soldiers and emergency services to prepare for potential flooding and landslides. Despite weakening after landfall, Wipha's heavy rains and strong winds have led to power outages, toppled trees, and at least four reported deaths across the affected countries.
The storm's impact has been felt from the Philippines to Taiwan, highlighting the vulnerability of the region to severe tropical weather.
