China evacuates more than 20,000 people as Typhoon Noul approaches, with authorities in affected areas warning of heavy rain and strong winds. Reporting indicates that evacuations are carried out to reduce risk from expected torrential downpours and gale-force conditions. In addition to the evacuation measures, railway services in southern China are suspended as the storm nears. One report says the typhoon is forecast to make landfall along China’s south-eastern coast, covering a stretch from Hong Kong to Guangdong province. The forecast landfall window is between Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Across the cited accounts, the core focus remains on precautionary preparations, including moving residents away from vulnerable areas and disrupting transport to improve safety and reduce potential impacts. The reports do not provide further details on casualties or specific damage outcomes at the time of publication, but they consistently describe the actions taken in anticipation of the storm’s arrival.
