Typhoon Noul batters southern China with hurricane-force winds, injuring nine in Hong Kong
Typhoon Noul, the strongest storm to hit China this year, made landfall early Sunday morning near the city of Pinghai in Guangdong province, about 80 kilometers northeast of Hong Kong, with wind speeds reaching up to 162 kilometers per hour, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
The storm brought heavy rain and strong winds, with footage showing debris-strewn streets and downed trees. Authorities in Guangdong province evacuated more than 715,000 people ahead of the typhoon's arrival, and Hong Kong issued its second-highest typhoon warning signal, T8, after initially raising it to T9 overnight.
In Hong Kong, at least 350 flights were canceled, and the city's observatory reported nine injuries and over 100 reports of fallen trees. The observatory stated that while Noul is gradually weakening as it moves inland, strong gusts continue to affect many areas, with occasional hurricane-force winds in higher elevations.
CCTV reported that the typhoon is expected to bring heavy rain and wind to the provinces of Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei as it moves northwest. The rainfall is expected to continue until Tuesday, potentially affecting northern provinces such as Henan and Shandong.
The typhoon follows another deadly storm, Typhoon Maysak, which killed 50 people in China earlier this month, including 39 in Guangxi province and 11 in Hubei province. Researchers have linked the increasing frequency and intensity of such extreme weather events to human-induced climate change, according to reports.
Authorities in Guangdong raised the emergency response level to the third-highest as the typhoon moved inland, disrupting rail traffic and causing widespread power outages. The region remains on high alert as the storm continues to weaken but maintains its impact across southern China.
