Super Typhoon Ragasa, the strongest storm of the year, has wreaked havoc across Asia, impacting Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and southern China. The storm has resulted in at least 14 deaths and left 124 people missing in Taiwan due to catastrophic flooding and a barrier lake burst. Following its destructive path through the Philippines, where thousands were evacuated, officials in Hong Kong and southern China are now bracing for severe impacts, with hundreds of flights canceled and schools closed as classrooms across the region are shut down. The storm, which features winds reaching up to 177 mph, has been classified as a serious threat, prompting mass evacuations in affected areas. Communities continue to struggle with the aftermath as the storm makes landfall, causing transportation disruptions and raising emergency alerts across the region.
