Shanghai region braces for typhoon In-fa after flooding in central China
The Peninsula
BEIJING: China's commercial hub Shanghai and neighbouring coastal regions cancelled all flights, slowed or suspended subway trains and shuttered businesses as typhoon In-fa made landfall on Sunday, bringing flooding and felling around 1,000 trees.
The typhoon landed in the Putuo district of the city of Zhoushan, a major port in the east coast province of Zhejiang, at 12:30 p.m. (0430 GMT) on Sunday, state broadcaster CCTV said, citing the China Meteorological Administration. The storm hit as central China was still reeling from record flooding that killed at least 63, cut off power and forced the relocation of more than 1 million people.More Related News
