Tropical storm causes some flooding in eastern China
Shanghai faced severe flooding after Tropical Storm Dolphin made landfall as a typhoon earlier in the week, dumping heavy rain across eastern China. The storm forced Shanghai airports to cancel hundreds of flights, with Hongqiao and Pudong airports alone canceling over 900 flights, or about 40% of the expected flights. Shanghai also suspended several metro lines, while China Railway Chengdu Group canceled 115 trains.
Authorities issued warnings of potential severe flooding and landslides in certain regions, and people were evacuated from at-risk areas. In Zhejiang province, authorities in Yueqing searched for residents trapped in flooded homes.
