Southeast China on Alert as Tropical Storm Podul Makes Landfall Amid Torrential Rain
Torrential rain swept southeastern China on Thursday after tropical storm Podul made landfall in Fujian, prompting a blue typhoon warning and black-rain closures in Hong Kong and Macao.
China's National Meteorological Center said Podul—or Typhoon No. 11, Yangliu—came ashore around 12:30 a.m. local time on the southern coast of Fujian, with maximum winds near its center of Force 11 (about 67 mph).
