Hey Amigos! 🌬️ Hold onto your hats because Typhoon Pulasan just pulled a double whammy! It made its second landfall in the Chinese mainland today! That's right, this typhoon is not playing around!
Pulasan, the 14th typhoon of the year as per China's meteorological authorities, first touched down in Zhejiang Province earlier today. But wait, there's more! At about 9:45 p.m., it made a second landfall in the Fengxian District of Shanghai, whipping up winds reaching 23 meters per second near its center. 🌪️
This makes Pulasan the second typhoon to hit east China this year, right after Typhoon Bebinca—the 13th typhoon—which stormed ashore at Shanghai's Lingang area of Pudong District on Monday. Talk about back-to-back action! 🌀🔥
The silver lining? Pulasan's intensity is expected to gradually weaken as it moves inland, according to the Zhejiang meteorological observatory. Let's hope things calm down soon! 🙏
