Typhoon Koinu skirts Hong Kong, heads for southern China's Hainan island

CANCELLED Planes

According to the airport power in Hong Kong, about 90 planes were canceled on Sunday and 130 more were postponed all day.

Schools will be closed on Monday, while daycare centers, consignment terminals, ferries, and buses all ceased operations on Sunday.

More than 20 people were reported injured by the tornado on Sunday, and there were also more than a few instances of trees falling due to strong winds, according to reports to Hong Kong’s authorities.

According to the Xinhua news agency on Sunday, Zhuhai and Jiangmen in the Chinese province of Guangdong, where Koinu is anticipated to pass on the way to Hainan, responded to an incident of Level III.

This required the gain of more than 35,500 fishing boats to port and the temporary closure of dozens of picturesque coastal areas.

Koinu had grazed near Taiwan before relocating to Hong Kong, bringing heavy rain and record-breaking breezes to its remote Orchid Island.

At least one person died as a result of the tempest, which also cut off power to thousands of homes.

Thunderstorms that form in the comfortable oceans south of the Philippines and then move east frequently strike Southern China during the summer and fall.

However, according to experts, climate change has made exotic storms more erratic and intense, bringing more rain and stronger winds that can cause flash floods and southern damage.
