Super typhoon Yagi moving toward China

One of this year’s most powerful storms typhoon Yagi is barrelling toward southern China and is expected to make landfall in the popular tourist island of Hainan later today, the BBC writes.

Trains, boats and flights have been suspended for a second day in the province. 

Yagi has doubled in strength after wreaking havoc in northern Philippines early this week. 

Authorities in Hainan have ordered all tourist attractions to be shut since Wednesday, warning of “massive and destructive winds”.
