Howling winds and sheets of rain: In the eye of a typhoon in China

Typhoon Muifa struck China's eastern coast, bringing howling winds and sheets of rain. The storm's powerful gusts made it extremely difficult to stand upright, as the winds hit in powerful waves. Authorities had issued the highest-level typhoon warning, leading to the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people from coastal areas. The typhoon caused widespread power outages and disrupted transportation, with flights and trains cancelled. Severe flooding was reported in some regions, and there were concerns about the potential for landslides and other damage. Emergency services were on high alert, and residents were urged to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. The typhoon was expected to weaken as it moved inland, but the clean-up efforts were likely to continue for some time as the region dealt with the aftermath of the powerful storm.
