Powerful typhoon-like winds battered Beijing and parts of northern China on Saturday, prompting authorities to cancel nearly 700 flights, suspend train services, and shut down major tourist attractions. Triggered by a cold vortex from Mongolia, the gusts reached record levels not seen since 1951, according to the China Meteorological Administration (CMA). Beijing issued its first orange alert for wind in a decade. By 2 PM, 693 flights were cancelled at Beijing’s Capital and Daxing airports. High-speed rail and airport express lines were halted, while popular sites like the Summer Palace and Universal Studios closed. The government urged people weighing under 50 kg to stay indoors across Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei, closing schools and public spaces to prevent injuries from the hazardous winds. Sh*t Storm in China: Sewage Explosion Causes ‘Poop Eruption’, Drivers and Pedestrians Affected; Video Surfaces.
