Typhoon Ragasa makes landfall in China after 17 killed in Taiwan
Typhoon Ragasa has made landfall in China after causing devastation and claiming the lives of at least 17 people in Taiwan. The powerful typhoon struck Taiwan earlier this week, triggering landslides, flooding, and widespread damage. The storm then moved towards China, where it made landfall in the southern province of Guangdong.
Authorities in Taiwan have been working tirelessly to address the aftermath of the typhoon, with rescue teams searching for missing persons and providing assistance to those affected. The government has declared a state of emergency in several regions as the scale of the destruction becomes apparent.
In China, preparations were made well in advance of the typhoon’s arrival, with residents urged to evacuate high-risk areas and take necessary precautions. The impact of Typhoon Ragasa in China is still being assessed, with initial reports of strong winds and heavy rainfall causing localized flooding and damage to infrastructure.
Both Taiwan and China are now focused on recovery efforts, ensuring that those affected by the typhoon receive the support they need to rebuild their lives. The devastation caused by Typhoon Ragasa serves as a stark reminder of the destructive power of these natural disasters and the importance of preparedness in the face of such events.
