Shanghai: The powerful Typhoon ‘Bebinca’ has struck Shanghai, leading to widespread destruction across the city. Classified as the strongest storm since 1949, ‘Bebinca’ unleashed winds reaching up to 151 kilometers per hour, uprooting trees, shattering windows, and blowing away billboards.
Authorities reported overturned vehicles and significant hazards for pedestrians, many of whom sought refuge by holding onto trees and poles. In light of the chaos, officials have advised residents to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel.
Numerous flights have been canceled, and essential city services have been suspended due to the storm’s impact. Emergency services have been activated to assist those in need and manage the aftermath.
The storm is anticipated to affect the local economy severely, prompting the government to initiate relief efforts for the hardest-hit areas. Residents are being urged to remain vigilant as the city begins recovery efforts.
