Hey everyone! China’s Ministry of Water Resources has just activated a Level-IV emergency response in Zhejiang and Fujian as Typhoon Danas makes its way toward the coast. ⚠️
Danas, the fourth typhoon this year, made its first landfall in Taiwan late Sunday night before moving back out to sea. Forecasts now warn of a possible second landfall between Taizhou in Zhejiang and Ningde in Fujian on Tuesday afternoon or evening. 💨
Heavy rainfall is expected from Monday to Thursday, with southeastern Zhejiang, the eastern coast of Fujian, and parts of central-eastern Jiangxi bracing for torrential downpours. Rivers like the Qiantang in Zhejiang could see significant surges, and some smaller tributaries might even exceed warning levels, raising concerns about mountain torrents in hilly areas. 💧
Local water authorities are on high alert, and teams have been dispatched to Zhejiang to support emergency preparations. For everyone living in or near the affected areas, please stay updated with local alerts and take every safety precaution. Stay safe and look out for each other! 🌦
