  At about 14: 20 on July 18th, it was stormy in Xiapu section of Fujian Province, shenyang-haikou expressway. According to the latest news from Fujian Meteorological Observatory, the strong tropical storm "Seagull" landed in Changchun Town, Xiapu County, Fujian Province at 18: 10 on the 18th, with a central air pressure of 988 hectopascals, a maximum wind force of 10 near the center and a wind speed of 25 m/s..

  Xinhuanet Fuzhou, July 19 (Reporter Tu Hongchang Kang Miao came to Jianqiang) After more than 8 hours of "invasion" over Fujian, "Seagull" flew into Zhejiang Province in the early morning of the 19th. In the southeast coastal areas of China, where preventive measures were put in place, seagulls were not allowed to wreak havoc. As of press time, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces have not found any reports of casualties caused by typhoons.


  This year’s No.7 typhoon "Seagull" was generated on the Philippine ocean at 14: 00 on the 15th, and then all the way to the northwest. At 21: 40 on the 17th, the "Seagull", which gathered huge energy at sea, landed in the south of Yilan County, Taiwan. The sudden storm brought a severe test to Taiwan Province, which has always been well-trained in typhoon prevention and resistance.


  After passing through Taiwan Province, "Seagull" weakened from a typhoon to a strong tropical storm, and gradually approached the coastal areas of northern Fujian and southern Zhejiang. After a long-distance attack of more than 1,000 kilometers at sea, at 18: 10 on the 18th, the "Seagull" with the maximum wind force of 10 near the center landed on the coast of Changchun Town, Xiapu County, Fujian Province again. The reporter saw that the dark clouds were hanging low in the head of Xiapu County, and the roaring sea breeze blew the residents’ glass windows.


  Less than an hour after "Seagull" landed, the rain in Xiapu County gradually increased, and all traffic lines such as expressways, national highways and maritime passenger routes leading to other places in Xiapu were blocked.


  "’Seagull’ is generated offshore and moves fast. The radius of the 7-level wind circle reaches 300 kilometers. Landing at any point in Fujian will cover the whole of Fujian Province, and the resulting heavy rainfall will have a greater impact on Fujian, which requires the prevention and resistance work to be swift and rigorous." Wu Jinta, deputy director of the Fujian Provincial Flood Control Office, said.


  From 17: 00 on the 17th to 18: 00 before "Seagull" landed, Fujian Meteorological Observatory issued six typhoon yellow warning signals in succession, and various localities and departments implemented typhoon prevention plans one after another. "Seagull" affects Zhejiang Province during the flood season, which is prone to the phenomenon of wind, rain and tide, aggravating the harm to Zhejiang Province. Therefore, the Zhejiang Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters started the typhoon-proof level II emergency response at 20: 00 on the 17th. The typhoon prevention and resistance work in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces starts from "people".


  "The waves are so flat and there is no rain. Why can’t we go back to the fishing raft?" At about 16: 00 on the 18th, Yang Shanbao, a fisherman in the Qingshan sea area of Sandu ‘ao, Jiaocheng District, Ningde City, refused to board the boat in the face of the mobilization of reserve officers and soldiers and town cadres.


  "Now that the wind is back to the south, it may attack Sandu’ ao head-on, and it must be transferred immediately!" Seeing that the "seagull" was about to strike, Lan Tingjia, secretary of the Party Committee of Sandu Town, gave an order and took decisive measures to forcibly transfer it to a patrol boat and send it to a safe land.


  "The safety of people at sea is the most threatened by typhoons, and organizational transfer must be deployed in advance and implemented one by one." Lan Tingjia said.


  Before the "Seagull" landed, more than 11,000 ships in Ningde City returned to Hong Kong in time to take shelter from the wind, and more than 15,000 fishermen were transferred to safety. A fisherman from Cangnan County, Zhejiang Province, told the reporter that it was because Ningde promptly informed all the vessels operating in the nearby waters to enter the harbor to take shelter from the wind before the typhoon landed that it escaped the strong tropical storm "Seagull".


  Huang Shuihua, an 80-year-old old man from Sandu ‘ao, Jiaocheng District, Ningde City, was moved from a house in a low-lying area to a safe area in the urban area the day before the typhoon landed. The old man said, "We affected people have food, clothes, a place to live, clean water and timely medical treatment, which is the blessing of the party and the government."


  From the 18th, influenced by "seagulls", Fujian, Zhejiang and other places experienced heavy rains accompanied by strong winds. In order to avoid the loss of people’s lives and property caused by typhoons, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces have moved more than 400 thousand people in dangerous areas on a large scale.


  Chen Rongkai, secretary of Ningde Municipal Party Committee, said that after the typhoon landed in Changchun Town, Xiapu County, Ningde City, millions of people in Ningde City were "near misses" and no one died from the disaster.


  Although the typhoon has crossed the border, the work of preventing and resisting heavy rain in Fujian Province has not been relaxed. On the evening of 18th, Lu Zhangong, secretary of Fujian Provincial Party Committee, demanded that cadres at all levels should still go deep into the front line and take command from the front, so as to effectively implement the plan, closely monitor possible secondary disasters such as landslides according to rainfall conditions, and transfer the masses in time.
