Hong Kong en alerte maximale face au super typhon Ragasa, 14 morts à Taïwan

Super Typhoon Ragasa killed at least 14 people in Taiwan after a seawall burst. Hong Kong was placed on high alert Wednesday morning as the storm, accompanied by strong winds and torrential rain, threatened southern China. Flights were canceled, schools closed, and residents were scrambling for supplies.

At least 14 people have died in Taiwan after a dike burst following Typhoon Ragasa, which brought heavy rain and strong winds to southern China on Wednesday morning, September 24, where Hong Kong has been placed on high alert.

At 8:00 a.m. (0000 GMT), Ragasa was located about 120 km south of Hong Kong, according to the local meteorological service. It was generating winds with a maximum speed of 195 km/h at its center, while crossing the South China Sea in a westerly direction.

Before hitting southern China, the storm, accompanied by torrential rains, affected the northern Philippines, but also Taiwan where, on Tuesday, a lake formed several years ago by a landslide burst, flooding a nearby town, according to a video obtained by AFP.
