SHANGHAI: Roads and neighbourhoods in Shanghai flooded on Friday as the Chinese megacity was battered by its second typhoon in a week, with rainfall breaking local records in parts of the city.
Typhoon Pulasan comes days after the strongest storm to hit the megacity since 1949, Bebinca, caused extensive damage on Monday.
Pulasan made landfall on Thursday night, with a maximum wind speed of 83-kms per hour, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency.
The city evacuated 112,000 people, Xinhua said, and some ferry and train services were suspended.
Videos posted on social media Friday showed Shanghai residents wading through calf-deep water in some neighbourhoods, though no severe damage or casualties have been reported so far.
