Authorities relocated more than 280,000 people in Shanghai and its surrounding regions and hundreds of flights and ferry operations were cancelled as Typhoon Co-May whipped eastern China with heavy rains.
Co-May's landfall in the port city of Zhoushan in Zhejiang province in the early hours of Wednesday was soon followed by warnings of a tsunami set off by a powerful earthquake off Russia's far east, raising concerns of larger-than-expected storm surges along the Chinese coast. Authorities lifted the tsunami warnings for Shanghai and Zhoushan later in the day.
