China evacuates 140,000, suspends transport as typhoon nears
Beijing – Local authorities had evacuated at least 140,000 people and suspended some transport services on Wednesday as Typhoon Megi approached southern China after killing 19 people in the Philippines.
The island province of Hainan and nearby Guangdong and Fujian provinces were placed on high alert for the typhoon, which was expected to make landfall in southern China on Thursday or Friday.
Weather forecasters warned that Megi could be the strongest typhoon to hit southern China in 20 years and could bring the highest tides for 200 years to some coastal areas.
The State Oceanic Administration forecast waves up to 7 metres high off Guangdong over the next two to three days, the China Daily newspaper said.
