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

Typhoon Wipha has battered Hong Kong, southern China, and northern Vietnam, causing widespread disruption, flooding, and travel chaos.

The storm forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights, closed airports, and triggered the highest storm warnings in Hong Kong, with authorities suspending public transport and placing emergency services on high alert. Heavy rains and strong winds led to power outages, toppled trees, and injuries, while coastal provinces in Vietnam and China braced for flash floods and landslides. Despite weakening after landfall, Wipha's remnants continue to bring torrential rain to Southeast Asia, raising the risk of further flooding.

Governments across the region have mobilized emergency responses, urging residents to prepare for ongoing severe weather.
