Typhoon Bebinca made landfall in Shanghai on September 16, 2024, causing significant damage and leading to the evacuation of over 414,000 residents. It is reported as the strongest typhoon to hit the city in 75 years, resulting in power outages, flight cancellations, and injuries. Recovery efforts are ongoing as another storm approaches.
Typhoon Bebinca formed late on September 14, 2024, in the East China Sea and intensified rapidly before striking Shanghai. The city is rarely hit by strong typhoons, making this event particularly impactful. Prior to Bebinca, Super Typhoon Yagi had already caused destruction in southern China.
