Typhoon Man-yi suspends ferries, submerges streets in China

Guangzhou, Nov 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) Typhoon Man-yi is approaching and has brought tidal waves to China's Guangdong Province, causing waterlogging in several cities and towns and prompting the suspension of ferry services.

All ferry services across the Qiongzhou Strait will be suspended starting from Tuesday evening.

According to Guangdong's marine safety administration, some ferry services across the strait and on other routes have also been halted on Tuesday, Xinhua news agency reported.

Meteorological authorities said the typhoon, combined with a cold spell, has caused a storm surge along Guangdong's coast.

On Monday evening, some streets in Shenzhen were inundated by seawater. Authorities said the seawater intrusion lasted about one to two hours and did not cause serious damage.

Similar waterlogging was also reported in the city of Shanwei on Monday evening, without causing casualties.
