Typhoon Gaemi makes landfall in mainland China after deaths in Taiwan and the Philippines | BBC News

Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes as Typhoon Gaemi has made landfall in mainland China.

It comes after widespread flooding and landslides across Taiwan and the Philippines, which killed at least 21 people.

The Philippines says it is "racing against time" to contain an oil spill after a tanker carrying 1.5 million litres of industrial fuel capsized and sank off of the country's coast.

China activated its highest-tier disaster warning as the storm made its way to its shores, and Chinese President Xi Jinping chaired a meeting with the Communist Party's top leadership on flood control and disaster relief plans, state media reported.

Here in Manila, the water levels have quickly receded, and everything is back to normal.

The problem with any cyclone is that people will focus on the category even a tropical storm (39mph and below) can produce upwards of hundreds of mm of rain so the impacts can still be huge.

Hot temperature attracted heavy rain falls and will rain more

How is it that the BBC has 16.3 Million subscribers but only 22K views and 320 likes. Something dodgy in the subscriber count.

Благодарю за информацию! Проблема в том, что нам навязали не верную причину изменения климата. Независимые учёные уже давно предупреждали о надвигающихся природных катаклизмах. На конференции ГЛОБАЛЬНЫЙ КРИЗИС. АМЕРИКА НА ПЕРЕКРЕСТЬЕ 2024 было озвучено, что такие страны как Китай, Индия, Италия, Англия и страны Аравийского полуострова исчезнут первыми. А от Америки останется 4% суши, где можно будет жить какое-то время. Но эта участь ожидает все страны, если лучшие учёные мира не объединятся ради спасения жизни на Земле и не найдут способ стабилизировать климат.
