South China begins a massive cleanup operation after the powerful Typhoon Ragasa swept through the region. Heavy winds and torrential rains left communities battered, uprooting trees and causing widespread flooding. The aftermath has left many residents assessing damage to homes, infrastructure, and farmlands, while emergency crews work tirelessly to restore normalcy.
Typhoon Ragasa’s destructive path also hit Taiwan. At least 14 people lost their lives in Taiwan when a decades-old barrier lake burst in Hualien county. Dozens more suffered injuries as the storm unleashed its fury, highlighting the vulnerability of both urban and rural areas to severe weather events.
Communities Unite for Recovery
Local governments and volunteers have mobilized to clear debris and provide relief to affected families. Authorities urge caution as floodwaters recede and focus their efforts on rebuilding essential services. The disaster serves as a stark reminder of the importance of disaster preparedness and resilient infrastructure in the face of increasingly frequent typhoons.
