  "summary": "Typhoon Dolphin is set to make landfall on China's east coast, bringing torrential rain and powerful winds. The storm has already swept through Okinawa Prefecture in Japan, injuring six people and cutting power to more than 50,000 buildings, according to the Japan Times.\n\nIn preparation for the storm, authorities have moved over 1 million people to safety, with 390,000 people evacuated in the city of Taizhou in Zhejiang province and 30,000 people evacuated in Shanghai, as reported by CNBC and The Mainichi. The storm is expected to hit the coast with sustained winds of up to 162 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a Category 2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.\n\nThe storm has also caused widespread transport disruptions, with over 1,600 flights cancelled, including more than 1,300 flights at Shanghai's two airports, as reported by Al Jazeera and The Mainichi. Torrential rain is forecast across several provinces, with parts of central and eastern Zhejiang expected to receive 250-500 mm of rain, according to The Jakarta Post.",
