Скачать или смотреть China Hainan Devastated in Half a Day: Typhoon No. 20 Unleashes 4-Meter Tsunami-Like Waves

How many times has this happened this year alone? With the relentless back-to-back assaults from Super Typhoon No. 18 and now No. 20, Hainan Province has been plunged into absolute hell. It's like a cruel joke that no one finds funny—Typhoons 6, 11, 13, 14, the monstrous 18, and now 20 have battered the region without mercy. Flipping through the calendar feels pointless as the island transforms into a nightmare landscape overnight.

Just three days ago, Super Typhoon No. 18 unleashed its fury, causing widespread blackouts and road blockages, leaving citizens in chaos. And now, Typhoon No. 20, codenamed "Pulasan," strikes with vengeance. The damage is like a double billing from nature—unrelenting and compounding. "We just got power back yesterday, and now it's pitch black again. I can't even afford candles anymore," laments a resident from Sanya. It's a situation where laughter is the only coping mechanism, but behind it lies exhaustion and despair.

Chinese media reports damages in the tens of millions of yuan, but the real toll will balloon. Stalled logistics cripple tourism, agriculture, and even medical supplies—severing lifelines. Experts blame natural disaster amplified by poor management, warning of repeated cycles without reform. In Sanya, the resort city, 30 m/s gusts and torrential rains turn underground areas into submerged battlefields.

Hainan's glamorous resort hub, Sanya, morphs into a drowned city under Typhoon No. 20. Winds shake buildings, and battlefield-like rains flood everything. Underground malls and parking lots vanish under water, entrances invisible from above. "Water surged in while I was shopping; the escalator became a waterfall. I climbed desperately," shudders a woman. It was like a movie scene come to life. Authorities issued evacuation orders three hours too late. "Tell us how to escape before it's too late," complain citizens.

Rescue teams struggle with severed roads, manual debris removal ongoing. "We hear cries but can't reach them," regrets a rescuer. Floods destroy infrastructure and spirits: Ruined farms, decimated crops, over 140,000 trees felled. Nature nullifies human effort in seconds. Evacuation centers lack water and food; even dogs starve. "We fled with our dog, but no feed," worries a woman. This isn't just disaster—it's a living hell of screams and tears.
