Shanghai welcomes second typhoon a few days after Bebinca

Thanh Hà |

Roads in Shanghai were flooded on September 20 as the Chinese megacity was hit by a second storm days after the strongest typhoon in 75 years, Typhoon Bebinca, made landfall.

Typhoon Pulasan made landfall on the night of September 19 in Fengxian District of Shanghai with maximum wind speeds of 83 km/h.

According to the latest storm forecast by Xinhua News Agency, Typhoon Pulasan is expected to weaken as it moves inland, but heavy rains continued to be recorded in Shanghai on the morning of September 20.

Videos posted on social media on September 20 showed Shanghai residents wading through calf-deep floodwaters in some neighborhoods. So far, there have been no reports of serious damage or casualties in Shanghai from Typhoon Pulasan.

A video released by the state-owned Shanghai Media Group shows police pushing a stalled car through floodwaters in Shanghai, while a motorcyclist wearing a raincoat crosses a flooded intersection. Dozens of stalled cars also gather in the area.

According to an AFP reporter, many flooded areas in Shanghai in the early morning of September 20 had been cleared by around 11am the same day.

The typhoon warning level has been upgraded for some areas in Shanghai as Typhoon Pulasan approaches the eastern Chinese city on September 19.

Typhoon Pulasan made landfall just days after Typhoon Bebinca swept through Shanghai on September 16 and was considered the strongest typhoon to hit Shanghai since 1949.

Typhoon Bebinca uprooted more than 1,800 trees, left 30,000 households without power and forced authorities to evacuate more than 400,000 people across Shanghai before the storm made landfall.

Meanwhile, Typhoon Pulasan is the 14th typhoon of 2024 according to statistics from the China Meteorological Administration. The landfall in Fengxian District of Shanghai at 9:45 p.m. on September 19 is the second time Typhoon Pulasan has made landfall in China. Previously, Typhoon No. 14 made landfall in Zhejiang Province, China.

According to the typhoon forecast of Zhejiang Provincial Meteorological Station, the intensity of typhoon Pulasan is expected to gradually weaken as it moves further inland into China.
