Typhoon Muifa Shrieks Through Shanghai

Even though the brunt of this past weekend’s Chinese typhoon Muifa missed Shanghai there were still people swept off their feet, bicycles and scooters. The force of wind in urban areas was 7-8 points (50-70 km per hour), and in coastal areas it was 11 points (103-117 km per hour). See the powerful winds in action.
