Shanghai was hit by Typhoon Bebinca on September 16th. Hundreds of thousands of residents were evacuated in what state media called the strongest storm to rip through the financial hub in 75 years. Fierce winds uprooted trees and toppled billboards.

Notably, Pengzhen Water Station in Nicheng town, Pudong, recorded 308 millimeters of rainfall in six hours, while the Yangjiazhai Meteorological Observatory Station in Situan tallied 327.7 mm of rainfall during the same period, marking a historical deluge not witnessed since 1978, the Shanghai Meteorological Service said.

The city canceled all flights at its two airports and closed major attractions, amid a three-day national holiday.

Streets and neighborhoods in Shanghai were flooded on Friday as the Chinese megacity was hammered by a second typhoon days after it was hit by its strongest storm in 75 years. Typhoon Pulasan made landfall on Thursday night in the city's Fengxian district,
