People in southeast China are measuring the scope of the damage caused by a powerful typhoon that hit yesterday morning. It was called typhoon Hato.
It brought powerful winds and flooding to this region and several deaths were blamed in the storm.
One thing unique about it was that Hato wasn't initially very powerful as it moved toward HongKong. It was about the equivalent of an average tropical storm. But that changed in just 24 hours before it made landfall. Hato's wind speeds nearly doubled in that time before the storm crashed into the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau.
A local weather service said it was the strongest storm to hit the area in five years. Hato'smaximum wind speeds were around 108 miles per hour, which is almost the strength of a category three hurricane. It made landfall during high tide, bringing large waves, flooding and damage to the coast. Schools, businesses and the stock market were closed.
And then as Hato moved west over China, it passed over a densely populated area, more than60 million people were in the path of the system. The threat wasn't as great inland though. Typhoons like hurricanes are fueled by war water and they general lose their strength as they pass over land.

台风“天鸽”独特的地方在于，它一开始向香港移动时威力并不大。当时它的威力相当于一般的热带风暴。但是，这一切在它登陆前24小时内发生了变化。在“天鸽”即将登陆香港和澳门特别行政区时，它的风速几乎翻了一倍。

随后“天鸽”向中国西部地区移动，并经过了一个人口密集区，其路径上有超过6000万人口。虽然威胁很严峻，但广大内陆地区不会受到太大影响。台风和飓风由水助力，在经过内陆地区时威力会减弱。
