Devastation and Resilience on China's Eastern Coast: Typhoon Dolphin's Unprecedented Impact As Typhoon Dolphin made landfall on China's eastern coast, it brought with it winds of over 160 kilometers per hour and torrential rains that threatened to engulf entire communities.
The storm's ferocity was matched only by the scale of its destruction, as more than 300,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes in a desperate bid for safety.
The evacuation effort was hindered by the sheer number of people seeking refuge, with many roads and bridges rendered impassable due to flooding and debris.
