After causing immense destruction in Taiwan and the Philippines over the past two days, super typhoon Ragasa, one of the strongest in years, is set to make landfall between the Chinese cities of Taishan and Zhanjiang between Wednesday afternoon and evening.

 

Fourteen people have died so far in Taiwan’s popular tourist hub in the eastern county of Hualien, with 124 missing after a barrier lake in the mountains overflowed to deluge a town during the super typhoon Ragasa.

 

As per the reports, regions across Taiwan have dispatched rescue teams to Hualien, with the military sending 340 troops to help.
