Devastation in Southern China as Typhoon No. 9 ‘Saola’ Strikes, Typhoon No. 11 ‘Haikui’ Approaching

[앵커]

In southern China, where Typhoon No. 9 ‘Saola’ struck, life and property damage continued.

There was a strong wind that was so powerful that even an adult woman could be blown away.

As Typhoon No. 11 ‘Haikui’ is also approaching, additional damage is also a concern.

The maximum wind speed is 160 km/h, and the falling rain is about to rise into the sky again.

An adult woman who fell and could not overcome the strong wind flew nearly 10m.

Trees were uprooted and running vehicles were overrun.

Super Typhoon Saola hit Hong Kong and Guangdong Province in southern China.

In Hong Kong alone, 75 people were injured, and in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, a car that was crushed by a fallen tree also died.

880,000 residents were evacuated to large building parking lots.

The specific scale of damage has not yet been announced, but it is evaluated that it can be recorded as the most powerful typhoon to hit southern China in 74 years.

In addition, Taiwan and Chinese authorities are tense as Typhoon Haikui, the 11th, is predicted to affect southern China on the 6th as it passes through Taiwan.
