That pretty bad if they restrict travel and no schools
Schools and offices were closed in parts of southern China on Thursday as the region braced for Typhoon Yagi.
It strengthened into a super typhoon on Wednesday night and is currently around 610 kilometers (379 miles) southeast of Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, China's Meteorological office said.
The typhoon is expected to make landfall along the region from Qionghai in Hainan to Dianbai in neighboring Guangdong province on Friday, according to Hainan Meteorological Service, where it will likely bring torrential rainfall.
Between 1949 to 2023, 106 typhoons have landed in Hainan but only nine were classified as super typhoons. Yagi has the potential to be the most powerful storm to hit the region in a decade.
