Doksuri Deluges Northern China, Beijing Evacuates Thousands
Weaker Typhoon Doksuri drenched northern China, prompting thousands to evacuate in Beijing after causing damage in the Philippines and Taiwan. The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall and potential flooding to a broad area, affecting millions of people. Beijing authorities have suspended sports events and closed tourist spots and parks. The storm weakened into a tropical depression as it moved inland, but heavy rainfall and the risk of mountain torrents and geological disasters remain. Doksuri caused power outages, uprooted trees, and led to the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people in coastal Fujian province.
