Typhoon Dolphin has battered China's eastern coast with powerful winds and torrential rain, causing widespread flooding in Zhejiang Province after making two landfalls.
The storm struck near Taizhou, with winds reaching around 151 kilometers per hour, before weakening as it moved inland.
Floodwaters covered residential streets, trapping vehicles and forcing rescue teams to respond in several communities. Footage from Zhejiang also showed firefighters rescuing people from flooded homes and helping residents trapped by rising water.
Authorities evacuated hundreds of thousands of people ahead of the storm, while more than 1,300 flights were cancelled at Shanghai's airports as severe weather disrupted transport.
Although Dolphin has weakened, officials continue warning of heavy rainfall, flooding and landslides as the storm moves inland.
Emergency crews remain deployed across affected areas, clearing roads, assisting residents and monitoring vulnerable communities.
The storm has also disrupted daily life across eastern China, with authorities maintaining heightened alerts as rivers and drainage systems face additional pressure from continued rainfall.
For residents in Zhejiang, the immediate danger from the typhoon may be easing, but the threat from flooding and landslides remains as cleanup and recovery operations begin.
