  "account": "Typhoon Dolphin has made landfall on China's eastern coast on August 9th, 2021, bringing torrential rain and strong winds. The storm has already caused six injuries in Japan's southern Okinawa prefecture and cut power to over 50,000 buildings. Prior to reaching China, authorities had evacuated offshore workers, returned vessels to port, and heightened checks at vulnerable areas. The typhoon is expected to impact eastern China through Monday, with sustained winds up to 162kmh, equivalent to a Category Two hurricane. Forecasters predict heavy rain, with some areas receiving up to 500mm of precipitation. Nearly 1,400 flights into and out of Shanghai's two main airports were cancelled, and Shanghai's Yangshan port moved over 500 vessels to shelter. Authorities have declared a Level III flood emergency in Zhejiang and Fujian, and Level IV in Jiangsu and Anhui. This response includes sending teams to the affected regions and issuing evacuation orders for areas under a red mountain-torrent warning.",
  "summary": "The storm is expected to hit the coast on Sunday evening and into Monday with sustained winds of up to 162km per hour before weakening and moving inland, China's National Meteorological Centre said.",
