Beijing\/Tokyo.- <\/strong>Typhoon Bavi left at least 87 injured in Taiwan this Saturday, caused five minor injuries in Japan, and forced the evacuation of 1.71 million people in China’s Zhejiang province (east), where the storm is expected to make landfall early Sunday morning after causing massive flight cancellations and rain alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhejiang raised its typhoon emergency response to level one, the highest, this Saturday as Bavi approaches its central and southern coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 14:00 local time (06:00 GMT), the National Meteorological Center located the center of the typhoon about 290 kilometers east of the border between Zhejiang and Fujian, over the southeast of the East China Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange alert<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the official forecast, Bavi will move northwest at 30 to 35 kilometers per hour and will make landfall around midnight or early Sunday morning between Sanmen and Cangnan, in Zhejiang, with winds of level 12 to 13, before moving inland and weakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official Xinhua agency reported that Zhejiang has evacuated 1.71 million people and closed 12,154 schools and kindergartens, 444 tourist sites, and 78 cultural venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bavi also caused massive cancellations at airports in eastern China and Taiwan, with activity practically paralyzed at terminals such as Wenzhou and Fuzhou, according to the specialized portal Feichangzhun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China’s National Meteorological Center maintains the orange typhoon alert<\/a> and issued the first red alert of the year for rain, with forecasts of torrential rainfall in Zhejiang, Fujian, Taiwan, and other regions in the east and north of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bavi arrives after a week of natural disasters in China, marked by the rains associated with Typhoon Maysak, which left at least 39 dead in Guangxi; a landslide in Gansu, with 21 fatalities, and storms and tornadoes in Hubei, with eleven dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

87 injured in Taiwan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Taiwan, the Disaster Response Center, cited by the CNA agency, reported that Bavi left at least 87 people injured, none of them seriously, mostly due to motorcycle falls, being struck by objects, cuts, or injuries during the typhoon’s close passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island authority also raised the number of preventive evacuees to 14,476 and recorded 1,456 incidents, mainly fallen trees and damage to basic infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taiwanese authorities maintain 45 red alerts for the risk of mudflows, 28 of them in Hsinchu County, in the northwest, as well as three red alerts for the risk of large landslides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration expects to lift maritime and land alerts during Sunday morning, while more than 5,400 travelers remain stranded on outlying islands under Taipei’s control, awaiting the resumption of transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Taoyuan, the main gateway to Taiwan, 552 flights were canceled and only about fifteen remained to be operated this Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan, without serious damage\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Japan, Bavi passed by the Okinawa islands this Saturday, the country’s southernmost prefecture, where it left five people with minor injuries and more than a hundred flights canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japan Meteorological Agency maintained a level 4 storm alert in the morning for some areas of southern and central Okinawa, which requires evacuation from dangerous areas due to the high possibility of flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the morning, winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour were recorded in some parts of the prefecture, and the Sakishima Islands were expected to accumulate up to 250 millimeters of rain between Saturday and Sunday, according to the NHK network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
