More than a million people have been evacuated across eastern China as Typhoon Dolphin slammed into the coast.
It brought powerful winds, torrential rain and the threat of major flooding.
The storm first struck Yuhuan in Zhejiang province with winds of up to 150km/h before making a second landfall near Wenzhou about an hour later.
By Monday, authorities had downgraded Dolphin from a top-level red alert to a tropical storm, but the danger was far from over.
So, how disruptive has it been? Huge.
Around 1,400 flights were cancelled in Shanghai alone, while ferry services and offshore construction were suspended elsewhere.
Tourist attractions, including parts of Disneyland and Legoland, were also closed.
Typhoon Triggers Mass Evacuations
Wenzhou relocated about 900,000 residents and opened more than 1,000 emergency shelters, while another 390,000 people were evacuated from Taizhou.
Forecasters warn some parts of Zhejiang could receive up to 500mm of rain, raising fears of floods and landslides.
A nine-year-old boy was also reported missing after being swept into the sea, though no deaths have been officially confirmed in China.
Dolphin had already battered the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan’s Okinawa.
It left eight people dead in the Philippines and several injured in Japan.
With the storm now pushing inland, the question is no longer whether Dolphin will disrupt lives, but just how much damage it will leave behind.
