Typhoon Wipha swept through Hong Kong, southern China, Vietnam, and parts of Southeast Asia, causing widespread travel chaos, flooding, and power outages.
The storm forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights, stranded tens of thousands of travelers, and led to the closure of airports and public transport systems in major cities like Hong Kong and Hanoi. Authorities in Vietnam and China issued emergency alerts, warning of flash floods and landslides as the storm brought torrential rains and hurricane-force winds. Several people were reported dead or missing, and infrastructure damage was significant, with toppled trees and widespread disruption to daily life.
As Wipha weakened, affected regions began recovery efforts, but lingering heavy rains continued to pose risks of further flooding and landslides.
