A powerful typhoon named Bavi has prompted the evacuation of over 600,000 people in China as it moves toward the eastern city of Wenzhou.The storm, which first hit Japan's southern Sakishima islands with heavy rain and strong winds, is expected to make landfall in Wenzhou around early Sunday morning.

State media reported that more than half a million residents were evacuated in Zhejiang province, where Wenzhou is located, while over 100,000 people were relocated in neighboring Fujian province.Despite the storm's weakening as it moves northward, its vast moisture content poses a significant risk.Residents expressed mixed feelings about the situation, with some showing confidence in their preparedness while others remained cautious.In Taiwan, authorities evacuated over 14,000 people from mountainous areas and suspended flights at major airports to prevent casualties.The Philippines reported 17 deaths due to heavy rains linked to Bavi's influence.

While Japan and Taiwan have not yet seen fatalities, the storm's impact highlights the challenges of managing large-scale natural disasters with global reach.
