Super Typhoon Ragasa, the world’s strongest cyclone of 2025, is battering Hong Kong and southern China with winds up to 220 km/h, prompting widespread shutdowns, flight suspensions, and mass evacuations. Authorities in Guangdong evacuated over 370,000 people, while Hong Kong raised its typhoon signal to 8, closed businesses, and warned of sea surges up to 5 metres. The storm, still a Category 4, has already caused damage in the Philippines and Taiwan, and is expected to make landfall in Guangdong by Wednesday.
