China&#8217;s national meteorological authorities reported that Yagi is the most powerful autumn typhoon to hit China and predicted it would make a second landfall in Xuwen County, Guangdong province, later that night.<\/p>\n<p>In preparation for the storm&#8217;s arrival, nearly 420,000 people were evacuated from Hainan and over half a million from Guangdong, as reported by state media. The typhoon brought heavy rainfall throughout much of Hainan and caused power outages in some areas. Strong winds affected many coconut trees across the province. Residents constructed sandbag barriers outside their homes to protect against potential flooding and reinforced windows with tape, according to China&#8217;s official Xinhua news agency.<\/p>\n<p>State media indicated that classes, work activities, transportation services, and businesses were suspended in various parts of Hainan as early as Wednesday evening.
