Typhoon Wipha Unleashes Chaos Across Asia: Flights Canceled, Cities Flooded, and Millions Disrupted

Typhoon Wipha has battered multiple countries across Asia, including Vietnam, Hong Kong, southern China, and the Philippines, causing widespread disruption.

The storm brought hurricane-force winds, torrential rain, and severe flooding, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of flights and the closure of major airports and public transport systems. Authorities in Vietnam and China placed coastal provinces on emergency alert, warning of flash floods and landslides as rainfall reached record levels. Hong Kong issued its highest storm warning, with thousands stranded at the airport and dozens injured by toppled trees and debris.

As Wipha weakened to a tropical storm, its remnants continued to threaten the region with heavy rain and the risk of further flooding.
