China's southern coast areas have been suspending road and water traffic, securing food supplies, and relocating residents to stand through the strongest typhoon attack this year.
Typhoon Kompasu made landfall in Qionghai City of south China's island province of Hainan at around 15:40 on Wednesday, which is the strongest typhoon to affect south China so far this year.
The typhoon landed on the coast of Boao Township in the city of Qionghai, packing winds of up to 118.8 km per hour, according to the Hainan meteorological service.
Haikou City, the capital of Hainan, has been hit by strong winds and showers after the typhoon's landfall. Much of the city's coastal area was flooded by sea water on Wednesday morning. The floodwaters started to recede in the afternoon.
The wind was strong enough to soak the embankments higher than three meters.
The Hainan provincial maritime administration on Tuesday suspended all ferry services in the Qiongzhou Strait, located between the Leizhou Peninsula of south China's Guangdong Province and Hainan Island.
At present, more than 20,000 fishing boats across Hainan are docked to brace for the Typhoon Kompasu, according to local maritime authorities. The provincial emergency response administration of the island is also taking all-out measures to ensure stable food and vegetable supplies for the natural disaster.
In Shenzhen City of Guangdong Province, local maritime authorities have intensified coastal patrols since Tuesday after issuing a level-III typhoon alert.
All kindergartens, primary, and middle schools have temporarily suspended classes, and all construction sites, farmer's markets, tourist attractions, and amusement parks have been temporarily closed.
In Guangdong's Zhuhai City, the Maritime Bureau of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge imposed a temporal water traffic control effective from 12:30 as of Tuesday. The shuttle bus services on the bridge were also suspended as of 17:00 Wednesday.
The public transport system in Hong Kong started to resume at 16:00 Wednesday.
High waves were earlier seen off Hong Kong's coastline while several road sections in the city were flooded to varying extents. All schools in Hong Kong were suspended as well as most bus services.
The Macao meteorological bureau also issued a No. 8 typhoon signal on Tuesday night. The civil defense department of Macao has put four evacuation centers into service, while suspending metro services, on-call taxis, and bus services. Hengqin Port has also suspended entry and exit services for passengers.
Also in east China, Fujian Province's maritime bureau has relocated nearly 30,000 of residents living in coastal areas. The province is also well poised to resume maritime activities in its port areas.
To cope with the continuous heavy rain forecast to strike China's southeastern coastline both on Wednesday and Thursday, the Office of State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters has initiated top level emergency responses, and dispatched expert groups to Hainan.
