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

Typhoon Wipha has battered Hong Kong, southern China, Vietnam, and the Philippines, causing widespread travel disruptions, flooding, and power outages.

Hong Kong issued its highest storm warning, grounding hundreds of flights and suspending public transport, while Vietnam closed airports and placed coastal provinces on emergency alert. The storm brought torrential rains and strong winds, leading to flash flooding, landslides, and injuries across the region. Authorities in multiple countries mobilized emergency responses, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and rescue workers on standby.

As Wipha weakens, the region faces ongoing risks from heavy rainfall and disrupted infrastructure.
