Two people have been killed after Typhoon Bebinca swept through eastern China, bringing torrential rain and powerful wind with it, state media reported on Tuesday. Bebinca has since eased into a tropical storm as it continues to deliver rain and wild weather across eastern parts of the Asian nation.

Shanghai, China’s financial hub, has closed its seaports and canceled more than 600 flights as it braces for what may be the strongest tropical storm to hit the city in 75 years.

Parts of China are preparing for a fresh tropical storm, just days after the country’s eastern seaboard, including Shanghai, was hit by the strongest typhoon it had seen in decades.

Officials in China moved some 414,000 people out of the way in Shanghai before the strongest storm in decades flooded roads and cancelled flights.

Typhoon Bebinca left a trail of destruction in Shanghai, China, battering the city for six hours yesterday. The storm struck the city with heavy rains and intense winds on September 16. Bebinca has caused flight cancellations in Shanghai and suspended passenger ferry services.
