Typhoon Ragasa has made landfall in southern China, prompting the evacuation of nearly two million people. This comes after the storm’s destructive passage through Taiwan, where authorities reported at least 17 fatalities and ongoing searches for missing individuals following a significant flood event. Despite being downgraded from a super typhoon to a severe typhoon, Ragasa remains a formidable force, with sustained winds of 144 km/h (89 mph) recorded upon its arrival in Guangdong province. The storm, considered the strongest globally this year, had previously caused injuries in Hong Kong and devastation in the Philippines, leaving thousands displaced and several dead. Meanwhile, Taiwanese officials are investigating the circumstances surrounding evacuation orders in Hualien county, where the bursting of a barrier lake, formed by a landslide, resulted in severe flooding and numerous casualties.
