The typhoon had moved toward the province of Guangxi as of this morning but in just one day it wreaked1 millions in damages to the neighboring Guangdong province. Rammasun is the ninth named typhoon this year but the strongest for China’s southern region in decades.

"We will patrol the entire area and respond to any reports on casualties, and if debris2 has blocked the streets, we will help to clear it up," said Wu Guoqiang, soldier from Zhanjiang Frontier Inspection3 Station.

 

As normalcy returns to the city, many are taking stock of damages as financial losses total into the millions. 450 thousand people were left devastated4, and local government urgently evacuated5 20,000 to higher grounds. Rammasun ranks at level 17 for a typhoon, at a force not seen by local residents in years.

 

China’s meteorological authority on Saturday maintains a top-level red alert for super typhoon Rammasun as downpours and gales6 continue to sweep the southern coastal7 provinces.
