Nearly Two Million Evacuated as Typhoon Bavi Weakens After Making Landfall in China | ChatZyr

Nearly two million people were evacuated as Typhoon Bavi made landfall in eastern China on Sunday before weakening into a severe tropical storm, prompting authorities to maintain emergency measures despite the reduced wind intensity.
Chinese officials reported no immediate casualties following the storm's landfall. However, emergency responders remain on alert as heavy rainfall, flooding and the risk of landslides continue across affected regions.
Before reaching mainland China, Typhoon Bavi swept through northern Taiwan and Japan's remote southwestern islands, toppling trees, disrupting transportation and leaving tens of thousands of homes without electricity.
The storm arrived as China was already recovering from a week of devastating extreme weather. Earlier storms and flooding across southern and central China claimed at least 39 lives, forced widespread evacuations, caused dozens of rivers to overflow and led to the failure of a reservoir, placing additional pressure on emergency services.
Although Bavi has weakened, weather authorities have warned that persistent rainfall could continue to trigger flash floods, urban flooding and landslides in vulnerable areas. Residents have been urged to follow official safety advisories until weather conditions improve.
Why it matters: Typhoon Bavi highlights the growing impact of consecutive extreme weather events across East Asia, where repeated storms are increasing risks to communities, infrastructure and emergency response operations.
