Typhoon Dolphin makes landfall in China with 1M+ evacuated

Typhoon Dolphin's landfall in Zhejiang Province on August 9 displaced over 1 million people across multiple provinces, disrupted Shanghai's aviation capacity by 40–60 percent (1,300–1,500 cancelled flights on Sunday alone), suspended 162 ferry routes and 193 offshore projects, and triggered record rainfall in Shanghai with highest 24-hour accumulation in 150 years. The government allocated 380 million yuan in emergency funding across affected provinces and escalated response to the highest alert level. Continued inland movement through Wednesday poses ongoing flood and landslide risks across eastern China's infrastructure and population.
