Shanghai Municipality is bracing for prime gales and torrential rains as tropical storm Meari swirls northward, battering the country's coastal areas.
The full force of Meari, still gaining in strength and sure to soon become a storm, can reach the ocean off Shanghai around late night of Saturday, in line with the Shanghai Municipal Meteorological Station.
Shanghai has emptied its reservoirs in preparation for the significant rain Meari is probably going to bring, said Zhang Zhenyu, spokesman for the Shanghai Flood management Headquarters.
Shanghai has inspected subway stations, underground parking heaps and different places in danger of flooding to ease issues heightened by torrential rains that drenched Beijing and paralyzed components of the city's transport system on Thursday, Zhang said.
In addition, the authorities have canceled a gathering of some three,500 individuals and closed a beach resort and a wetland park for safety issues.
Meari has brought fierce winds and significant downpours to neighboring Zhejiang Province.
On Saturday afternoon, 2 vessels sailing on the waters off Zhoushan Islands of Zhejiang sunk as a result of the high gales, in line with a spokesman with the East China ocean Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport.
Thirty individuals on the 2 vessels fell into water, however were all rescued later, said the spokesman.
Further north, the storm can unleash significant rains on coastal cities of Shandong Province from Saturday night to Sunday, said the meteorological station of Zhejiang Province.
