Hey everyone, brace yourselves Typhoon Ragasa, the 18th typhoon of 2025, is gearing up to make landfall along the central and western coastal areas of Guangdong in the Chinese mainland this Wednesday as a strong or even super-strong storm. 🌪️🌧️
Whats at stake? Heavy rain and gale-force winds could knock out power, disrupt trains, buses & flights, and even trigger flooding, landslides, mudslides, and urban waterlogging. Think of Mumbai monsoon season on steroids only this time in southern China!
Heres how to stay ahead of the storm:
- Stay updated: Keep your smartphone notifications on for local weather alerts and official advisories.
- Charge & prep: Fully charge devices, power banks and stock emergency essentials (water, snacks, first-aid). 🎒
- Secure surroundings: Clear gutters, fasten loose outdoor items, and identify safe spots at home.
- Travel smart: Avoid non-essential trips near rivers, coasts & hilly areas until the storm passes.
Even if youre miles away in Jakarta or Dhaka, its a good reminder to have a storm plan nature doesnt check borders! 🌏💡 Keep an eye on CGTN or your local news channels for real-time updates. Stay safe, stay informed, and lets look out for each other. 🙌
