Shanghai just faced a storm like no other! 🌬️ Typhoon Bebinca, the 13th typhoon of the year, made landfall in Shanghai around 7:30 a.m. on Monday, according to the Shanghai meteorological observatory.
With maximum wind speeds near its center reaching a staggering 42 meters per second, Bebinca roared ashore at the Lingang area of Shanghai's Pudong District. 💨
This isn't just any storm—it's believed to be the strongest typhoon to hit Shanghai in over seven decades! 😱
The State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters wasn't taking any chances. On Sunday, they activated a Level IV emergency response for east China's Anhui Province and escalated the response in Shanghai and Zhejiang to Level III. 🚨
Locals are being advised to stay indoors, secure loose items, and keep updated through official channels. Let's all stay safe and look out for one another! 💪❤️
