Typhoon Wipha Hits Hong Kong, South China; Rain, Wind And Chaos All Over | N18G

On July 20, Typhoon Wipha brought heavy rain and strong winds to Hong Kong before making landfall in Taishan, Guangdong province, China. The storm caused fallen trees, damaged scaffolding, and forced over 200 people to seek refuge in temporary shelters. Hong Kong's typhoon warning was downgraded from Signal No. 10 to No. 3 by the evening. Rainfall exceeded 110 mm within three hours, and wind gusts reached over 167 kph. Despite the intensity, the impact was milder compared to previous typhoons like Mangkhut and Hato. In total, 26 people required hospital treatment, 253 used government shelters, and 471 fallen trees were reported. Wipha made landfall at 5:50 p.m. with winds near its center reaching 118 kph, after which it weakened into a severe tropical storm. The storm moved westward along China’s southern coast, prompting an orange alert from China’s Central Meteorological Bureau due to heavy rain and strong winds.
