HONG KONG: Hong Kong and southern China hunkered down under pink alert as sturdy winds and heavy rain from Typhoon Mangkhut lash the densely populated coast.
The biggest storm this 12 months left no less than 28 dead from landslides and drownings because it sliced throughout the northern Philippines on Saturday.
Nearly part 1,000,000 other folks have been evacuated from seven towns in Guangdong province, the playing enclave of Macau closed down casinos for the primary time and the Hong Kong Observatory instructed other folks to steer clear of the Victoria Harbour, where storm surges battered the waterfront bolstered with sandbags. Mangkhut is due to make landfall in Guangdong later Sunday.
The nationwide meteorological center says southern China "will face a severe test caused by wind and rain" and urged officers to organize for conceivable disasters.
