A powerful typhoon has swept south of Hong Kong and is moving toward a Chinese island province where it is expected to make landfall, forcing many aspects of life in the region to a halt. Trading on the stock market, bank services and schools were halted in Hong Kong.
In this image released by Xinhua News Agency, a worker reinforces a glass window with tape at a cafe after the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters raised its emergency response for flood and typhoon prevention for Typhoon Yagi, Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024, in Haikou, south China’s Hainan Province.
Yagi, with maximum sustained winds of 230 kilometers per hour near its center, forced more than 250 people to seek refuge at temporary government shelters and led to cancellations of more than 100 flights in the city. In Hainan, a tropical holiday island in southern China, residents were bracing for the powerful storm. The province’s meteorological service expected Yagi to make landfall somewhere between the province’s Wenchang city and Xuwen county in neighboring Guangdong province later Friday.
