Streets and neighborhoods in Shanghai were again flooded today as the Chinese megacity was battered by Typhoon Pulasan, just days after Bebinca, the strongest storm to hit the megacity since 1949.
Pulasan is the 14th typhoon this year. It made its second landfall in Shanghai on Thursday evening, after making its first landfall in Zhejiang Province earlier in the day.
The torrent of rain broke local records in parts of Shanghai. Two weather stations recorded more than 300 millimeters of rainfall in six hours, the highest in their districts since records began.
