Super Typhoon Ragasa has caused a catastrophic storm surge in Zhuhai, China, flooding coastal areas of Gaolan Island in the Pearl River Estuary as of September 24th, 2025. This development follows reports of the storm killing at least 14 people and leaving many missing in Taiwan, and lashing Hong Kong with strong winds and heavy rain. The most powerful tropical cyclone of the year, Ragasa, is currently moving towards millions of people in southern China, according to Reuters. User @volcaholic1 on X shared visuals of the flooding in Zhuhai, describing the storm surge as catastrophic. Earlier in the reporting window, between 8:35 AM and 9:04 AM UTC on September 24th, user @volcaholic1 also reported significant storm surge impacts in Hong Kong, affecting Tung Wan Beach. These events in Hong Kong occurred after the Hong Kong Observatory had issued its highest level Hurricane Signal, No. 10, due to the storm's intense rain and destructive winds, which had previously impacted southern China.
