Fujian is located in SEcoastal, a complex terrain facing the Pacific Ocean, which has been the Typhoon Landfall or the disaster area affected.Backthrough the history, there are several Typhoon events because of their huge destructive power, the scope of impact is wide and memorable.Knowing the experiences of these "predecessors", helps at We know more scientifically about Typhoon risks, prepare for disasters.
The King of the Century: 1999 9909 Typhoon “Dan” and 2006 “Saomai”
In the history of Fujian's Defence Tower, the 9th Typhoon "Dan" in 1999 is an unavoidable name. It inlandfall near Xiamen, at the time of the astronomical tide, triggered a severe thunderstorm. Xiamen City district large amounts of water, infrastructure seriously damaged, this Typhoon has left many old Xiamen people still at heart. It warns us that the harm caused by the Typhoon is not only wind, but also water—especially when strong winds and thunderstorms overlap, the risk of coastal thunderstorms is indexed.
Another one worth remembering is the 2006 Super Typhoon "Saomai". It in Zhejiang Lang and Fujian Fujian border Landfall, the center of the wind force is extremely strong, bringing a devastating blow to the area of Pyeongchang E. "Saomai" is characterized by the intensity is large, Moving fast, wind concentrated, leading to a large number of houses collapse and ship damage. According to China Meteorological Bureau tropical cyclone level national standards, this type of Super Typhoon (maximum wind force near the center ≥16) has a strong destructive force, ordinary buildings are difficult to resist, so early evacuation is the key to safety.
Heavy in recent years: Meranti in 2016 and Doksuri in 2023
Go to the second decade of the 21st century, the influence of the Typhoon is still severe. 2016 No. 14 Typhoon “Meranti” attacked Xiamen with a Super Typhoon level, becoming one of the world’s strongest tropical cyclones of the year. Xiamen’s entire city trees fall, power disruption, glass curtain walls broken, CityFeatures once paralyzed.
In 2023, the 5th Typhoon “Doksuri” went deep inland with a rare N upward path, although its intensity at the Fujian River Landfall at Severe Typhoon level, but its carrying water vapor with the N side cold air combination, in China N and so on triggered extreme Rainstorms. while in Fujian local, its rainstorms caused severe agricultural losses and urban city injury. This suggests that modern Typhoon defense should not only pay attention to the Landfall point’s wind force, but also be alert to the secondary disasters triggered by its residual rings, such as mountain slopes and waterfalls.
科学应对: 从预警到行动
In the face of these historical lessons, the public should build a scientific defence consciousness.When the meteorological department releases a typhoon yellow, orange or red early warning, it means that the risk will rise gradually.In general, during the period when the red early warning comes into effect, secondary schools and kindergartens will be shut down, and employers should arrange the shutdown according to the circumstances.
