Typhoon No. 13 landed on the Shanghai Pudong coast on September 16 at 7.30 a.m.
and then proceeded to the mainland China.
This was the most powerful typhoon to land in Shanghai in the past 75 years.
The typhoon was so strong that it affected the air traffic control and the closure of high-speed roads.
According to Chinese media, the maximum wind speed near the center of Typhoon No. 13 was 14 knots,
and the center pressure was 955 hectopascals.
Since May 1949, it has been the most powerful typhoon to hit Shanghai.
At the time of landing, there was strong wind and heavy rain in Kaohsiung, Shekou, and Shanghai.
It is very rare for Shanghai to be hit by a strong typhoon.
According to the statistics of the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau,
there were only 10 typhoons that landed in Shanghai between 1949 and 2023,
and many of them were at the stage of strong tropical typhoon.
From the night of September 15, hundreds of flights of aircraft were cancelled in both Shanghai Pudong and Hongqiao.
On the morning of the 16th, some of the subway lines were shut down, and some of the highways were also shut down.
In addition, all the waterways in Shanghai, such as the Watashi ship and the Kouhokou Port,
were completely shut down from 10 p.m. on the 15th.
Due to the impact of the typhoon, tourist attractions such as Shanghai Disneyland,
Kinkou Paradise, and Shanghai Wild Animal Park were temporarily closed.
In the neighboring city of Funayama, restaurants and supermarkets were shut down,
and public transportation was also suspended.
By midnight on the 16th, more than 414,000 people were evacuated to the natural area of Shanghai.
According to official reports, around 12.30 p.m. on the 16th,
four buildings in Shanghai were damaged,
and one person was injured and more than 10,000 trees fell or broke.
In the whole city, 153 power outages occurred, and more than 800 farms were flooded.
In terms of transportation, 577 trains were out of order,
1461 airliners were canceled, and 39 ships were canceled.
In a video posted on Chinese social media,
the outdoor unit of an air conditioner in a skyscraper is shaking in the wind,
and a dangerous situation seems to be falling.
In addition, many buildings' roofs and windows were blown away by strong winds.
A net user in Shanghai said,
I live on the 20th floor, and when there was a typhoon, the whole building shook and I felt very scared.
In an interview, a woman living in the northeastern part of Shanghai said,
In the morning, the rain soaked into the house through the gap in the window,
and I could see the rainwater of the neighboring residential area being knocked down by the wind through the window.
In her apartment, a typhoon warning was repeated on the speaker a few days ago,
and a notification from Kaido office was sent to prevent residents from leaving the chat group.
The typhoon, which was supposed to land in Shanghai for the past few years for geographical reasons,
was only living in the surrounding area of Shanghai for a while,
and strong rain was falling in the city of Shanghai.
However, everyone was particularly nervous about the 13th typhoon.
The woman said,
I felt that this typhoon was really coming.
According to China Central Meteorological Observatory,
after the 13th typhoon landed in Shanghai,
it continued to move in the northwest direction,
and heavy rain fell in areas such as the central part of Anji Province, the central part of Kaohsiung Province,
the southern part of Shanghai, and the northern part of Sekkou Province,
and some areas were expected to have a typhoon.
After the 13th typhoon landed,
the power was slightly weakened,
but it had a great impact on the surrounding area.
Because of the heavy rain,
many residents in the Choukou Delta area, such as Kaohsiung, Nanjing, and Soshu,
were worried about the rain in their homes.
In addition, a net user posted a video of the wall of a building cracking up and down due to the typhoon.
In the video posted by Musyaku City,
many places in the city were flooded due to the typhoon,
the roads became like rivers,
and the underground parking lots were severely flooded.
The solar water heater installed on the roof of the building also fell due to the wind.
Currently, the economic loss caused by the 13th typhoon is being evaluated.
However, the concern is that the 14th typhoon has already occurred in 2024,
while the impact of the 13th typhoon has not completely disappeared.
According to the Central Meteorological Observatory,
the 14th typhoon is currently at the level of a tropical typhoon,
and the development speed is slow,
and it is moving at a speed of 20 to 25 km per hour in the northwest,
and it is likely to affect the Chinese East China Sea and the Kato coast area in the future.
Hey, I told you enough of that.
But look, this is different.
It's Ganjing World.
