Typhoon Dolphin made landfall on China's eastern coast Sunday afternoon, according to meteorological authorities. The storm had been expected to strike later in the day, but arrived earlier than forecast. No immediate reports of damage or casualties were available.
The storm made landfall in eastern China around 13:09 Jerusalem time, according to meteorological authorities. This follows earlier reports that the typhoon was expected to hit overnight. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, authorities had prepared for severe flooding and landslides and evacuated offshore workers. The storm had previously caused power outages for 14,000 buildings in Japan before turning toward China, as The Zioneer reported on Saturday. Details on the extent of damage and casualties in China are not yet available.
