As CBC News reports, citing the meteorological services of the PRC, the epicenter of the storm, with wind speeds of up to 151 km/h, came ashore in the area of Yuhuan county. The country has declared the highest, "red" level of danger. Hundreds of temporary accommodation centers have been set up in Wenzhou and neighboring provinces.
