Powerful Typhoon 'Lagasa' Hits Taiwan and China 🌪️: Survival and Recovery Amidst Emergency
I was also deeply saddened to hear this news. When I read the reports that the powerful Typhoon 'Lagasa' claimed 17 precious lives in Taiwan and subsequently caused immense damage to southern China, I felt truly heartbroken. 💔 Let's listen to the stories of survivors and the wounds left by this typhoon, known as the 'King of Storms'.
💔 'King of Storms' Lagasa, Unrelenting Power
Hello. Today, I bring you truly sorrowful news. The powerful Typhoon 'Lagasa', known as the 'King of Storms', has shaken our lives and passed.
According to recent reports from various media outlets including the BBC, Typhoon 'Lagasa' first struck Taiwan. Here, at least 17 precious lives were lost, and to my deep sorrow, further reports indicated many more missing individuals. 😢 It is said that in the eastern part of the island, a dike burst, causing massive flooding, making it difficult to even imagine the horrific scale of the disaster at that time.
🇨🇳 Southern China, 'Lagasa' Makes Fierce Landfall
Following the tragedy in Taiwan, Typhoon 'Lagasa' made landfall in Guangdong Province, southern China, on Wednesday, maintaining its formidable strength with peak winds of up to 241 km/h (150 mph). 💨 Although its category was adjusted from 'Super Typhoon' to 'Typhoon', its power remained immense. It was reportedly comparable to a Category 5 hurricane, giving us an idea of its destructive force.
In the coastal regions of southern China, approximately 2 million residents were urgently evacuated in preparation for the typhoon. 😱 Specifically, in Taishan County, Guangdong Province, in southeastern China, maximum wind speeds of 241 km/h were recorded. This typhoon had been gathering strength for days as it moved across the South China Sea.
