Typhoon Bavi is battering China. Heavy rains have left roads submerged. In Liaoning province, 260,000 people have been evacuated to safety. Videos showing cars being swept away like toys in the floodwaters are going viral on social media. China’s National Meteorological Center has forecast heavy rains for Tuesday as well. Holidays have been declared for all educational institutions. This typhoon, which formed in the Pacific Ocean 13 days ago, spans an area equivalent to the size of France. Its impact is also being felt in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and North Korea.
