"Typhoon Saola wreaks havoc on China's coast, forcing closure of casinos and grounding flights"

Super Typhoon Saola made landfall on China's Guangdong coast after causing destruction and flooding in Hong Kong. The typhoon, with winds of over 200 km/h, forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights and the evacuation of 900,000 people in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. Although Saola weakened after passing Hong Kong, it still caused damage and authorities warned of strong winds and rains. One person was killed in Shenzhen when a tree fell on their vehicle. Hong Kong imposed its highest hurricane storm signal, and Macau's casinos reopened after a temporary closure. Another typhoon, Haikui, is forecasted to hit Taiwan's southeastern coast.

Typhoon Saola Threatens Hong Kong and Taiwan

Hong Kong has raised its storm warning to the third highest level as Typhoon Saola approaches, with schools closed and flights canceled. Although Saola has weakened from super typhoon status, it remains equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. The storm is expected to brush the city later in the day and could be the worst storm in five years. Hong Kong's flagship airline, Cathay Pacific, has halted all flights to and from Hong Kong, and the city's highest storm warning alert, signal T10, is possible depending on the typhoon's track.

Saola: Hong Kong Prepares for Strongest Typhoon Since Mangkhut

Hong Kong is preparing for the arrival of super typhoon Saola, with authorities raising the strong wind signal to No.8, resulting in the closure of businesses, schools, and the stock exchange. Saola, with winds exceeding 200 kph (125 mph), is expected to approach the coast of eastern Guangdong and could be one of the five strongest typhoons to hit the province since 1949. Hong Kong's weather observatory predicts deteriorating weather conditions as Saola skirts within 100km (60 miles) of the city, potentially leading to heavy rain, violent winds, and a rise in water levels. All flights in and out of Hong Kong have been canceled, and schools will remain closed.
