Typhoon Noul Hits Southern China as More Than 340,000 Evacuate, Flights Canceled Typhoon Noul made landfall in southern China this week, forcing more than 340,000 people to evacuate and bringing with it strong winds and heavy rain that have left a trail of destruction.
The storm's arrival is the latest in a series of intense typhoons to hit the region. Just last week, Typhoon Bavi brought strong winds and rain to eastern China, leading to the evacuation of over 2 million people.
In July, Typhoon Maysak made landfall in southern China, causing widespread damage. As East Asia is no stranger to typhoons, it's clear that these storms are becoming more intense and frequent due to climate change.
