Severe water accumulation is currently occurring in many places in Wenzhou, traffic is blocked, and trees and houses have collapsed. Citizens are advised to stay at home and pay attention to typhoon news and not to act haphazardly.
Typhoon Hagupit has made landfall on the coast of Yueqing, Wenzhou at around 3 a.m. on August 4, 2020. The current situation in Wenzhou is as follows: Most of the roads have water accumulation
After Typhoon Hagupit landed in Wenzhou, it brought heavy rainfall to the local area. The city was unable to drain floods, and most of the roads had water accumulation. Large areas of water accumulated in Longwan Wanda Plaza, Wenzhou Elephant City, Chashan Alley, Yongjia Bridge, the intersection of Longteng South Road and Jiaotong Road in Longwan, Wenzhou South Railway Station and Urban Park Road, making it impossible for vehicles to pass. The water can reach the knees of an average adult, and some residents' houses have been flooded. Vehicles have mistakenly entered the waterlogged road section, resulting in dead fire and being unable to drive. Firefighters have been dispatched to rescue the affected people and arrangements have been made to drain the accumulated water. Citizens must always pay attention to typhoon information and not go out at will. Drivers must follow the traffic police's instructions and guidance to avoid straying into waterlogged roads. When encountering danger, report to the fire department in a timely manner and take appropriate methods to rescue themselves. Buildings and trees collapsed
Some residents in Taizhou were hit by the typhoon and their homes were in a mess. It's raining heavily outside and light rain inside. Therefore, before the typhoon arrives, residents living on high floors should protect large pieces of glass and floor-to-ceiling windows in their homes to prevent the glass from breaking due to strong winds.
In the Huangyan Mountain Scenic Area, the covered bridge was blown down by strong winds, causing the stream to surge. Many sidewalk trees, walls and railings blown down by strong winds can be seen on urban roads. After the typhoon made landfall, citizens tried their best to sit at home and pay attention to the latest news about the typhoon despite having no choice. If you must go out, you should also pay attention to whether there are objects on your head and feet that can be easily blown down by the wind on the road, such as billboards, trees, railings, etc., to increase your awareness of self-protection.
According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, Typhoon Hagupit will gradually weaken in intensity after landing. Citizens traveling need to pay attention to the weather forecast for the coming week, keep a safe distance when driving, and pay attention to road conditions and nearby water accumulation.
