Haikui Typhoon Wrecking Havoc On Residents, Heavy Rain Hit Southern China For Seventh Day

Slow-moving storm clouds drifted from Guangdong on the coast to Guangxi has drenched southern china even on seventh day blocking the roads, flooding low areas creating a trap kind of situation for the residents.

As per state media, rescuers have reached the location with assault boats to evacuate the residents stranded in the low-lying homes as the water was more than 2 metres(6.6) feet since Sunday night. However as per the forecast, it is expected to rain heavily in Guangxi over the next few days.

Haikui typhoon made a landfall in Fujian on September 5, now reduced to a tropic storm is still wrecking havoc on the residents in Southern China region. Shenzhen has recorded the heaviest rain since 1952. Hong Kong located in the nearby region faced the worst storm in last 140 years.

“Typhoons that move far inland affect regions historically less exposed to heavy rainfall and strong wind, often with lower disaster resilience, leading to more severe losses,” said Shao Sun, a climatologist at the University of California, Irvine.

“In this case of Shenzhen, the disaster was mainly due to the slow westward movement of Haikui’s residual circulation, which nearly stagnated in its spatial position from the afternoon of Sept. 7 to the early hours of Sept. 8, and a “train effect” of heavy rainfall occurred, causing the event to exceed its expected intensity,” he further added.
