## Resource

Typhoon Bavi unleashed chaos across East Asia, triggering mass evacuations and widespread disruption — but calm prevailed thanks to preparedness. Over 1.8 million people fled in China’s Zhejiang and Fujian provinces as the storm headed for Wenzhou, while Taiwan canceled nearly 1,000 flights and shut down its main airport despite avoiding direct landfall. Japan and Taiwan reported no deaths from the storm itself, though monsoon rains in the Philippines caused 17 fatalities. Residents in Taiwan and China stayed mostly calm, recalling past storms and trusting government response — even as some braced with wind and rain or headed home to help family.
