Super Typhoon Fung-Wong to make landfall along southwestern coast of China’s Taiwan
Super Typhoon Fung-Wong, the 26th typhoon of this year, is forecast to make landfall again along the southwestern coast of China’s Taiwan island from the afternoon or the evening of Wednesday, informed the National Meteorological Center (NMC) on Monday.
The NMC on Monday continued to issue a yellow alert for the typhoon.
Fung-Wong is expected to enter the typhoon warning zone in east China’s Fujian Province around Monday evening.
Meteorological authorities forecast that from November 9 to 14, coastal areas and fishing grounds in Fujian would continue to experience sustained winds averaging above level 8.
To ensure safety, all fishing boats in Fujian's fishing grounds have returned to port to seek shelter, and all the personnel had been evacuated to shore by 16:00 on Sunday. Additionally, all individuals from the aquaculture rafts along the coastline south of Ningde City have also been evacuated to land.
At the dock, coast guard officers are assisting fishermen in reinforcing vessel mooring lines, organizing fishing nets, and relocating essential supplies. They have also conducted safety inspections of docking facilities to eliminate potential hazards.
Furthermore, south China’s Guangdong Province had activated a Level-IV emergency response to the typhoon, said the provincial headquarters for flood, drought and wind control on Monday morning.
