"Super Typhoon Saola Threatens Hong Kong as China Issues Highest Warning"

China has issued its highest typhoon warning as Typhoon Saola, with winds exceeding 200 kph (125 mph), approaches the southeastern coastline, posing a threat to Hong Kong and major manufacturing hubs in Guangdong province. The typhoon is expected to make landfall between Huilai County in Guangdong and Hong Kong on September 1, potentially becoming one of the five strongest typhoons to hit Guangdong since 1949. Authorities have suspended classes, halted train services, and implemented safety measures to mitigate the impact of the storm. Heavy rainfall and storm surges are expected in coastal areas, with Fujian and Guangdong provinces likely to be affected.
