Typhoon makes landfall in China after forcing nearly two million to flee
Typhoon Bavi has made landfall in eastern China, forcing the evacuation of over 2.8 million people. While the storm has weakened to a tropical storm, authorities warn of continued heavy rainfall and potential flooding across the region.
Why it matters
The storm represents a significant test of China's disaster management infrastructure and highlights the increasing frequency of extreme weather events in the region.
While Bavi has since weakened to a tropical storm as it pushes inland, forecasters warn that it could unleash prolonged and widespread rain across eastern and northern China in the coming days.
The report relies on factual reporting of evacuation numbers and storm progression without loaded language.
