What happened
Typhoon Bavi made landfall late Saturday in Taizhou, Zhejiang province, prompting evacuations of nearly 2 million people from eastern China’s coast. The storm weakened to a tropical storm by Sunday as it moved northwest into Anhui, but continued to bring strong winds and heavy rain, with forecasters warning of prolonged rainfall far inland. Bavi had earlier swept past Japan’s southern islands and northern Taiwan, and was the second typhoon to affect China in just over a week.
