Typhoon Bavi Heads for China | San Francisco News

Typhoon Bavi, a once-supertyphoon now weakened but still deadly, is barreling toward China’s east coast with 100+ mph winds, set to skirt north of Taiwan before slamming south of Shanghai Saturday night. As if the week wasn’t bad enough, other storms have already claimed 50 lives: Tropical Storm Maysak flooded southern China, killing 39 and collapsing a dam; thunderstorms and tornadoes in Hubei took 11; and a western landslide killed 21 forestry workers. Authorities are on high alert—Zhejiang has evacuated 17,000 and mobilized 170,000 rescuers, while Fujian has shut down ferries and ordered fishing boats to port. Bavi’s still a major threat, and the storm season shows no signs of slowing down. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
