Summary
Typhoon Dolphin made two landfalls in Zhejiang on Sunday evening, first near Taizhou at 17:30 local time and again near Wenzhou about 70 minutes later.
42 meters per second winds near the storm’s center prompted Beijing’s highest typhoon alert, while authorities suspended some rail services alongside widespread flight disruptions.
More than 1,000 flights were canceled as eastern China braced for the storm after earlier port closures, ferry halts and other emergency measures.
Dolphin reached China after battering Okinawa, where it injured people and caused major power outages, underscoring the storm’s broader regional impact.
