What impact will typhoon weather bring?

Typhoon is one of the most destructive meteorological disasters.

Impact of typhoon weather:

First, it is a strong wind. The wind speed of typhoon is mostly above 17m/s, even above 60m/s ... So the typhoon gale and the waves caused by it can throw the 10,000-ton ship into the air and break it, or push it inland. Hurricane winds are enough to damage or even destroy buildings, bridges and vehicles on land. Especially in areas where buildings are not reinforced, the damage is even greater. Strong winds also blow debris into the air, making the outdoor environment very dangerous.

Second, it is heavy rain. When the typhoon lands, the rainfall center can drop 100 mm -300 mm, or even 500 mm -800 mm of heavy rain a day. The flood disaster caused by typhoon and rainstorm is fierce and destructive, and it is the most dangerous disaster.

The third is storm surge. When the typhoon moves to land, due to the typhoon's strong wind force and low air pressure, the sea water accumulates strongly in the direction of the coast, the tide level rises sharply, and water waves flood the coast. The storm surge of a strong typhoon can raise the coastal water level by 5 -6 meters. If storm surge meets astronomical high tide level, it can produce high-frequency tide level, which will lead to flood, seawall burst, destroy houses and various building facilities, flood towns and farmland, and cause a large number of casualties and property losses.

Fourth, the traffic impact. The strong wind and heavy rain brought by typhoon is a disaster for traffic, which not only has a great impact on road traffic, ships at sea and aviation flight.

Secondary disasters caused by typhoons

The secondary disasters of typhoon include landslides and mudslides caused by heavy rain. 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.
