Hold onto your hats, amigos! 🌬️ Typhoon Bebinca, the 13th typhoon of the year, just made a dramatic entrance into Shanghai at 7:30 a.m. on Monday. Packing fierce winds of up to 151 kilometers per hour, it's the strongest typhoon to hit the city since Typhoon Gloria way back in 1949! 😱
Bebinca, classified as a severe tropical storm, is charting a northwest course at about 25 kilometers per hour, with its intensity expected to ease up as it moves inland. But don't let your guard down just yet! This storm is set to bring heavy downpours to Shanghai and neighboring provinces in eastern China, including Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui. ☔
Locals are bracing for the onslaught, and authorities are urging everyone to stay safe and indoors. With torrential rains and strong winds on the horizon, it's time to cozy up and ride out the storm. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌀
