Tropical Storm Wipha on the way to Hong Kong and South China

Beijing (AP) – A tropical storm that was triggered in Taiwan to fly and ferry can be forecast to achieve the taive strength before reaching the South Chinese coast on Sunday.

The storm used to cross the Philippines, where a parked truck was crushed by an advertising table-like structure, which was overthrown in Quezon City north of Manila by strong winds.

Wipha had a maximum of 63 miles per hour and gusts of up to 126 km / h (78 miles per hour) when they passed on Saturday south of Taiwan, the central news agency on the island said.

The news agency said more than 20 centimeters of rain were recorded in the counties of Hualien and Taitung on the east coast of Taiwan. Several domestic flights were canceled and the service on 14 ferry routes was suspended due to rough seas and strong winds.

On the other side of the Taiwan Street, many ferries planted the service in the province of Fujian on the east coast of China.

The storm, the sixth of the season in the West Pacific, is expected to reach the Taifunstarch before it comes close to Hong Kong overnight. It is expected to bring heavy rain along China's south coast and then get weaker when it drives west to Vietnam and Laos.

In Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific said that all flights were canceled or delayed on Sunday between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. The airline foregoes ticket changes, it said.

The Hong Kong Observatory warned of storm winds or higher winds and possible floods in low-lying coastal areas due to storm surges. A 30-kilometer bridge that spends the water between Hong Kong and Macao overnight overnight is closed overnight, reported Hong Kong RHCASTER RTHK.

The authorities in the province of Hainan, a Chinese island that is a popular beach resort, said that three ports would stop operations on Saturday evening in Haikou, the provincial capital.
