VARIOUS OF SECURITY LINES AROUND HONG KONG, CHINA - SEPTEMBER 25: Super Typhoon Ragasa has injured at least 82 people and toppled more than 700 trees in Hong Kong on Thursday, Sept. 25. Chinese authorities relocated more than 1 million people to safe locations after South China’s Guangdong province raised its typhoon emergency response to the highest level as Super Typhoon Ragasa approaches, with landfall expected along the central or western coast on Wednesday, according to state-run media. So far, more than 1.04 million people have been relocated, and over 80,000 fishing boats secured in ports, Xinhua News reported. Nearly 12,300 offshore workers have also been brought ashore as the storm, packing winds of up to 55 meters per second (123 miles per hour), advances toward the Pearl River Delta. Authorities suspended school classes, businesses, factories and transport in more than 10 cities, including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Dongguan. Zhuhai imposed citywide traffic controls late Tuesday, banning nonessential vehicles and urging residents to remain indoors. Authorities also deployed hundreds of rescue personnel, firefighters and emergency workers, while the China National Offshore Oil Corporation evacuated over 5,000 staff from its South China Sea platforms. Heavy rain and flooding shattered glass doors at Hong Kong’s Fullerton Hotel Ocean Park, inundating its lobby. The typhoon also crippled air travel, with about 1,000 flights affected since Tuesday and no passenger departures from Hong Kong on Wednesday, officials said. The death toll from Typhoon Ragasa in Taiwan also climbed to 17, with several people still missing after the super typhoon triggered floods, reported Taiwan News on Wednesday, citing government sources.
