爱上海：Typhoon Pulasan floods Shanghai

Roads and neighborhoods in Shanghai flooded on Friday as the Chinese megacity was battered by a second typhoon days after it was hit by its strongest storm in 75 years.

Typhoon Pulasan made landfall Thursday night in the city's Fengxian district, with a maximum wind speed of 83 kph, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency.爱上海

The storm "is forecast to gradually weaken as it moves inland," Xinhua said, though downpours continued in the city Friday morning.

Video posted on social media Friday showed Shanghai residents wading through calf-deep water in some neighborhoods, though no severe damage or casualties have been reported.上海后花园论坛

Parts of Shanghai upgraded their typhoon alert levels as the storm approached the city Thursday.
