Shanghai: Worst typhoon in 75 years
On Monday, Shanghai was hit by Typhoon Bebinca, the strongest since 1949, with wind speeds of over 150km reported. 25 million people were advised to stay at home and 400,000 people were evacuated by Chinese authorities. Shanghai is now fixing the damage – over 1,800 trees have blown down and 30,000 homes have lost power.

Chinese authorities said typhoon Bebinca is expected to hit the east coast as early as Sunday night and may pose a major public safety risk as tens of millions of holidaymakers take trips across the country for the mid-autumn festival.
