Mass evacuations are underway in southern China as the region prepares for Super Typhoon Ragasa, the strongest storm of the year. Hong Kong has upgraded its typhoon warning ahead of the storm's expected landfall in Guangdong province, with hundreds of thousands of people already evacuated. Residents in the area are stocking up on essential supplies and taking precautionary measures as they brace for potentially catastrophic conditions. Super Typhoon Ragasa, dubbed the "King of Storms," is forecasted to impact both China and northern Vietnam in the coming days, prompting widespread concern and preparation efforts.
