Super Typhoon Ragasa Hits Philippines, Triggers Mass Evacuations and Airport Shutdown in Hong Kong
The Category 5‑equivalent storm, Super Typhoon Ragasa, slammed the northern Philippines with winds over 215 km/h, forcing school closures and evacuating more than 10,000 residents. Taiwan’s southern coast saw towering waves, while Hong Kong halted all flights for 36 hours. Flooding, landslides and swollen rivers threaten tens of millions across the region. Emergency shelters are filling fast as authorities brace for the storm’s north‑west trek toward China’s southeast coast.
