Typhoon, Shanghai Typhoon Bebinca, the test of wind and rain in Shanghai
On September 16, 2024, over Shanghai, a natural "storm feast" was quietly unfolding, with Typhoon "Beibijia" raging with wind and rain.
Beibijia, born from the depths of the distant ocean, carries abundant water vapor and powerful air currents. As it gradually approached the bustling city of Shanghai, layers of dark clouds began to cover the sky above the city. The originally clear sky seemed to be covered by a huge gray curtain, and the sunlight was mercilessly blocked, plunging the entire city into a gloomy atmosphere.
The fierce wind appeared first. It is like a group of unrestrained beasts, rampaging wildly in the streets and alleys of the city. The trees on both sides of the street were blown upside down, and their leaves danced wildly in the wind, as if shouting in pain. The power poles that usually stand straight and upright are now trembling slightly under the strong wind, and the wires make a buzzing sound in the wind. Pedestrians struggled to walk in the wind, having to lower their bodies and exert all their strength to resist the thrust of the strong wind, making every step exceptionally difficult.
As the typhoon approached, rainstorm poured down. The bean sized raindrops, like dense bullets, hit the ground fiercely. Quickly, turbulent water flows formed on the streets, rushing and roaring towards low-lying areas. The car is driving in the rain, splashing high splashes of water. The wipers are constantly busy, but still unable to withstand the fierce impact of the rain. On the roof of the house, rainwater cascades down like a waterfall, forming water curtains under the eaves.
However, in the face of the raging typhoon "Beibijia", the city of Shanghai was not easily defeated. The emergency management department of the city quickly took action, and the staff rushed to various positions to strengthen the inspection and maintenance of urban infrastructure. Traffic police officers stick to their posts in the wind and rain, directing traffic and ensuring smooth roads; Electricity workers are on standby at all times, ready to deal with possible power failures; Community workers go door-to-door to promote and remind residents to take preventive measures.
Although typhoon "Beibijia" has brought heavy storms and many inconveniences to Shanghai, it has also made people in this city more united. In the wind and rain, people help each other and overcome difficulties together. The figures holding umbrellas for others on the streets, and the hands helping to move items in the community, all demonstrate the warmth and humanity of Shanghai as a city.
When Typhoon Bebinca finally left, Shanghai regained its former vitality and energy. The streets have been cleaned up, trees have been straightened, and everything is being restored in an orderly manner. This typhoon is not only a test of nature, but also a tempering of urban resilience and people's spirit
