Summary: One of the strongest typhoons of the year, “Yagi,” made landfall on Hainan Island in southern China on Friday (September 6th), prompting Chinese authorities to evacuate nearly 1 million people. According to Xinhua News Agency, “Yagi” made landfall at 4:20 pm local time on Friday in Wengtian Town, Wenchang City. Heavy rain has been reported across most of Hainan Island, with power outages in some cities and counties. “Yagi” is potentially the strongest typhoon to hit Hainan and South China in a decade. Trains, ferries, and flights have been suspended for the second day in a row. Authorities have also ordered schools to close and businesses and tourist attractions to shut down. According to Chinese state media, over 410,000 people have been evacuated from Hainan Province and over 570,000 from the neighboring Guangdong Province. “Yagi” doubled in strength after causing significant damage in northern Philippines earlier this week. Currently, wind speeds near its eye are nearing 240 km/h. Meteorologists warn that “Yagi” could cause “catastrophic” damage to Hainan and Guangdong, China’s most populous province. The China Meteorological Administration has issued the highest level typhoon red alert. State media warned that the landing intensity of “Yagi” is extremely high. The world’s longest cross-sea bridge – the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, which connects Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai in Guangdong – has also been temporarily closed. “Yagi” is expected to skirt the northern part of Hainan Island, enter the Beibu Gulf, and make landfall again in northern Vietnam later, with its strength weakening.
