Strong winds and heavy rain are expected to impact many eastern
and northeastern Chinese cities on Sunday and Monday, the
National Meteorological Center said, adding that heavy to
torrential rain was recorded Sunday afternoon in provinces,
including Anhui.
In Zhejiang province, more than 2.2 million people were
evacuated due to Bavi, according to state media. The city of
Shanghai, in Zhejiang, evacuated over 290,000 people from
at-risk areas, while Fujian province evacuated more than 180,000
people.
In the coastal city of Yueqing, also in Zhejiang province, more
than 1,300 trees were toppled, including at least 700 uprooted,
according to state broadcaster CCTV.
Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao
International Airport were expected to cancel around 653 inbound
and outbound flights due to Bavi, the official Xinhua News
Agency said.
Bavi passed north of Taiwan on Saturday but did not make a
direct landfall. Taiwan’s fire department said at least 134
people across the island were injured, some sustaining injuries
while riding motorcycles or bicycles in strong winds or due to
slippery road surfaces.
