TaiwanPlus News says that typhoon Bebinca hit Shanghai and caused the worst storm the city has seen in 70 years. Heavy rains and hurricane-force winds have shut down the city, causing widespread floods, power cuts, and problems with transportation. The government has sent out the strongest weather alerts, telling people to stay inside and get ready for more problems.
Hundreds of planes have been cancelled and train services have been shut down because of the storm. The streets are under water from the flood, and emergency services are working nonstop to keep people safe.
This extreme weather event is part of a trend towards stronger and more common typhoons, which is likely made worse by climate change. While Shanghai deals with the direct effects of Typhoon Bebinca, authorities are also keeping a close eye on what’s happening in other areas. Even though the storm is expected to get weaker, it will still bring heavy rain and the risk of flooding to nearby places.
The coming of Typhoon Bebinca is a new event in the city’s long history of extreme weather. It also shows how important it is to be ready for future climate risks. The storm’s long-term effects on the economy are still being studied, but work to rebuild is already under way. Stay tuned for more news about what happened after the storm.
