Typhoon-like winds hit South China during major storm, leaving 7 dead
Rare storms with typhoon-like winds have killed at least seven people in China’s southern Jiangxi province since the weekend, three of them blown out of their high-rise apartments in their sleep.
The extreme weather, which began on March 31, has engulfed nine cities including Nanchang and Jiujiang with 93,000 people in 54 counties affected, said the Jiangxi provincial emergency flood control headquarters.
On Sunday, freak storms led to gusts that ripped door-size windows off frames in two apartments in a high-rise building in Nanchang, the provincial capital. Three people were pulled from their beds through the holes, plunging to their deaths, according to local media reports.

Officials on Wednesday said seven people so far have died across the province and 552 had to be emergency evacuated. They also said 2,751 houses were damaged.

Accompanied by dramatic sheet lightning, pounding rain and hailstones the size of golf balls, the powerful storms – the most severe in more than a decade – also caused 150 million yuan ($21 million) in economic losses, local officials said.
China’s weather bureau had issued warnings of violent winds with speeds of up to level 12 on local wind scales, equal to a Category I hurricane.
Winds of such intensity are common when typhoons, as hurricanes are called in China and elsewhere in East Asia, make landfall but are rarely found inland such as landlocked Jiangxi.
China’s national weather forecaster kept its highest severe convective weather warning advisory – orange – in several areas of southeastern China as strong winds, hail and thunderstorms continue through Wednesday.

The forecaster on Tuesday issued the first orange alert for severe convective weather since 2013, state media reported.
China has a three-tier, color-coded weather warning system for severe convective weather, with orange representing the most severe warning, followed by yellow and blue.
Kentucky football is rolling on the recruiting trail right now. Four-star safety Marquis Bryant became the latest top target to join the 2027 high school class. Could the Cats get another big commitment before the Kentucky Derby arrives on Saturday? A major target is ready to come off the board.
Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco Prep EDGE Aidan O’Neil will making his commitment announcement before his scheduled summer official visits in June. This blue-chip recruit is going live on Friday. This announcement will be live on the 247 Sports YouTube feed at 10 a.m. ET before the Oaks Day action really gets rolling at Churchill Downs.
Aidan O’Neil is the No. 110 overall recruit in the 2027 Rivals Industry Ranking. O’Neil is a top-five player in New Jersey. Notre Dame is currently the favorite to land a commitment from this four-star prospect. However, both Kentucky and Penn State have June official visits scheduled. Those are the schools in O’Neil’s final three.
The Wildcats host this defensive end for a junior day visit in January and a spring practice visit in April. O’Neil recently made a trip to South Bend in April. Marcus Freeman‘s program has made a big push in the Mid-Atlantic to win this recruitment.
