Taipei, Taiwan — The strongest typhoon to hit Shanghai since at least 1949 flooded roads with water and broken tree branches, knocked out power to some homes and injured at least one person as it swept over the financial hub Monday. More than 414,000 people had been evacuated ahead of Typhoon Bebinca's arrival with powerful winds and torrential rain. Schools were closed and people were advised to stay indoors.
Flights, ferries and train services had been suspended in the megacity and in neighboring provinces, disrupting travel during China's three-day Mid-Autumn Festival. Shanghai's airports canceled hundreds of flights Sunday and into Monday, while in Hangzhou, about 106 miles southwest of Shanghai, authorities also canceled more than 180 flights. Flights at Shanghai's airports resumed Monday afternoon as the storm moved away.
