Super Typhoon Ragasa halts Hong Kong, southern China

Sarakhon Report

Transport and services suspended

One of the strongest storms in years slammed Hong Kong and the southern China coast, sending waves over promenades and shutting schools, trading, and flights. Authorities raised storm signals and urged residents to shelter as landslide and flooding risks rose after Ragasa swept past Taiwan and the Philippines.

Damage assessments underway

Initial reports cited power cuts, port closures, and debris-strewn roads. Emergency crews struggled with gale-force winds to restore critical services. Weather bureaus warned of persistent heavy rain bands even as the system tracked west-northwest toward Guangdong.
