Will the typhoon stop the high-speed rail?

If the typhoon is serious, it will lead to the suspension of high-speed rail.

Once the typhoon above 10 is warned, the elevated and ground subway lines will stop. Secondary disasters caused by typhoons include landslides and mudslides caused by heavy rains. In addition, houses, bridges, mountains and so on. Be washed and soaked by floods for a long time in a typhoon. Even if it didn't collapse at that time, houses and bridges would easily collapse after typhoons and floods receded.

So if the typhoon is strong, it will affect the high-speed rail traffic. When the typhoon comes, the strong wind will blow up foreign objects on the roadside and hang them on the catenary of the high-speed rail, causing equipment failure and threatening people's lives.

At the same time, the rainstorm and seawater intrusion caused by typhoon are likely to cause secondary disasters such as urban waterlogging, resulting in traffic paralysis and subway outage. , affecting the normal operation of the city, and even causing casualties.

Disaster caused by typhoon

1, rainstorm disaster: Typhoon rainstorm has the characteristics of fierce force, large intensity, wide range and long duration, which is easy to cause waterlogging disaster. Short-term high-intensity precipitation will cause serious geological disasters.

Rivers and lakes flooded, reservoirs burst and roads were washed away, causing traffic disruption, water and electricity supply interruption, factory buildings damaged and casualties. Typhoon rainstorm and its landslides and mudslides are one of the main causes of many typhoon deaths.

2. Gale disaster: The typhoon carrying gale is not only fierce, but also lasts for a long time and has great destructive power. Typhoon gale and the waves caused by it can throw a 10,000-ton ship into the air, break its waist, or push it inland; On land, typhoons can uproot trees and overturn houses, causing great disasters.

3. Storm surge disaster: Typhoon encounters astronomical tides twice at the beginning or middle of the lunar calendar, which will cause storm surge disaster more serious than rainstorm and gale, which can flood islands, destroy dikes and flood inland, causing hundreds of thousands of people to die instantly.
