China Braces for Double Threat: Tropical Storm and Tsunami

Shanghai braces for a tropical storm, relocating over 280,000 people and canceling flights, while a tsunami warning follows a powerful Russian earthquake. Authorities halt ferry services and impose speed limits. Despite these challenges, popular attractions like Disneyland remain open but with limited operations.

Shanghai is on high alert as more than 280,000 residents were evacuated and numerous flights canceled due to an approaching tropical storm. The city also faces a tsunami threat following a powerful earthquake off Russia's east coast.

Authorities have suspended ferry services and imposed speed limits on transport to mitigate the impact, while attractions like Disneyland manage limited operations. The storm is expected to make a second landfall near Shanghai soon.

The earthquake-triggered tsunami is anticipated to have a significant impact, with potential waves reaching up to one meter high in affected areas, adding a severe coastal threat to the ongoing meteorological challenges.
