Typhoon Wipha is wreaking havoc in Hong Kong and nearby regions, forcing authorities to issue their highest storm warning. With winds hitting 140 km/h, the typhoon has already caused major travel disruptions—flights and trains are grounded, shelters are evacuating people, and popular attractions have shut down. While the storm passed just south of Hong Kong, its effects are being felt across South China.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another rainy day—Wipha’s strength is serious enough to upend daily life for millions. Hong Kong’s rare top-level storm warning signals real danger, and the widespread travel chaos shows how vulnerable even a prepared city can be. For locals and travelers, it’s a stark reminder of how quickly extreme weather can disrupt everything.
