Almost 8,000 People Evacuated in Southern China Over Typhoon Saola, Authorities Say
On August 29, China's Meteorological Administration (CMA) initiated level four emergency responses on Typhoon Saola. The southern coastal areas of Zhuhai, Guangdong were hit by the typhoon on September 2, at 3:30 am local time, according to the government.
Authorities of China's prefectural city of Yunfu in the southwestern Guangdong province said on Monday that they had evacuated almost 8,000 people due to floods caused by super typhoon Saola.
Prolonged
rains caused by the typhoon led to the growth of water level in the Luoding River above normal levels, and the risk of flooding has dramatically increased, the local authority on emergency situations said.
"As of 22:25 [14:25 GMT], on September 3, 7,960 people have been evacuated from dangerous areas of the Yunan county [in Yunfu]," the authority said.
The
China Meteorological Administration announced last week the highest level of emergency responses in China's south as the typhoon was approaching.
On Friday, more than 80,000 fishing vessels returned to port after being moved away from areas at risk in Guangdong and Fujian province.
The Hong Kong Observatory anticipated heavy rain and violent winds, and the city's water level is predicted to rise significantly until Saturday, with the possibility of serious flooding.
