Shanghai cancels at least 1,300 flights as Typhoon Dolphin hits China’s eastern coast

Typhoon Dolphin hit China’s eastern coast on Sunday evening after forcing more than 300,000 people to preemptively relocate and Shanghai’s two airports to cancel more than 1,300 flights. The landslide was set off by days of heavy monsoon rains, which had been intensified by Dolphin, officials said. The outer bands of the storm hit northern Taiwan on Saturday, including the capital of Taipei, bringing rain. Zhejiang authorities also suspended ferries and cruises.
