Up to 500,000 people could be evacuated from the southeastern coast of China as the region braces itself for super typhoon Talim, which is set to make landfall on Thursday or Friday this week, according to China’s National Meteorological Centre. Some buildings in the typhoon's path will be unable to withstand the high winds, while other areas are prone to flooding or mudslides. The storm has already killed at least 10 people, and authorities have warned that it may cause more deaths if not dealt with quickly.
