Beijing: Typhoon Dolphin hit China's eastern coast Sunday evening after forcing over 300,000 people to preemptively relocate and Shanghai's two airports to cancel more than 1,300 flights. The storm brought heavy rains to northern Taiwan the day before.
The storm hit the city of Taizhou in Zhejiang province and the northern parts of neighboring Fujian province Sunday evening, bringing strong winds, estimated at 151 kilometers per hour (93 mph) when it made landfall, and massive waves to the city's coastline. Heavy rains have created a risk of severe flooding in Zhejiang, and authorities have warned of severe landslide risks.
