Shenzhen Braces for 'Apocalyptic' Super Typhoon Haigasha, City on Lockdown
Shenzhen, China - Residents of Guangdong province, particularly in Shenzhen, are bracing for Super Typhoon Haigasha, which is expected to make landfall with significant wind and rain impacts. The typhoon, described as being close to or equivalent in destructive power to 2018's Typhoon Mangkhut, has prompted widespread preparations and a city-wide lockdown. Schools have been closed, public transportation suspended, and airspace shut down as authorities urge citizens to remain indoors for a 36-hour period starting this afternoon. Reports indicate that supermarkets experienced panic buying, leading to empty shelves, as residents stocked up on essentials. Police presence has also been noted in various areas, reinforcing the seriousness of the situation. One local resident, Clau 可佳, shared her experience, stating, "It's not the first time I've lived through a typhoon in this city, but it's the first time it feels like the end of the world." She documented the empty stores and the collective efforts to prepare for the storm, noting the unprecedented scale of the event since the COVID-19 pandemic. While acknowledging the severity, she also highlighted the convenience of her residential building, which offers various amenities, making the mandatory indoor stay more bearable. The city remains on high alert as it awaits the full force of Typhoon Haigasha.
