Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - Hurricane "Duksuri" hit the southeastern sector of China, accompanied by heavy rains and strong winds that exceeded the 150 km / h barrier, which has so far killed 6 people, according to the preliminary toll announced by the official authorities there.

Hurricane "Duksuri" caused severe damage to the infrastructure in "Fujian", and power was cut off in large parts of the province as a result of the fall of electricity poles. The hurricane also caused trees to be uprooted, in addition to the destruction of a number of buildings. As a precautionary measure, the authorities evacuated more than 416,000 people to safe areas.
