Hey there! 🌬️ Have you ever heard of a typhoon? It’s like a giant spinning storm with super strong winds and lots of rain, similar to a hurricane or cyclone. Well, Typhoon Wipha has just arrived at the coast of China, and it’s a big deal!
On Sunday evening, Typhoon Wipha made landfall near a city called Jiangmen in Guangdong Province. Imagine winds so strong they can bend trees and make huge waves in the sea! 🌊 That’s what’s happening there right now.
Cities like Zhuhai and Shenzhen, which are close to the sea, are getting ready to protect everyone. Schools are closed, and people are staying indoors to stay safe. 🚪 The famous Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which connects different parts of China over the water, was also closed to keep travelers safe.
Over 400,000 people have been moved to safer places away from the storm. That’s like moving a whole city’s worth of people! 🚌 Emergency teams are working hard to make sure everyone is okay. They’re checking buildings, helping with drainage to prevent floods, and making sure there is enough electricity and food for everyone.
In places like Hainan Province and Guangxi region, people are also preparing for heavy rain and strong winds. 🚧 Ferries and boats have stopped running to keep passengers safe, especially around places like Weizhou Island.
Typhoons can be scary, but with good planning and everyone working together, people can stay safe. 🛡️ It’s important to listen to adults and follow safety instructions during big storms like this.
Stay safe and keep learning! 🌟
