Super Typhoon Ragasa, the world's most powerful tropical cyclone of the year, has unleashed havoc on Hong Kong with hurricane-force winds and relentless rainfall as it lashed the region on Wednesday. Meanwhile, in Taiwan, the typhoon has tragically resulted in 14 fatalities amid torrential downpours. The island has been enduring persistent rains from Ragasa since Monday, as its outer rim continued to wreak havoc, according to the Taiwan fire department. Hong Kong streets remained eerily quiet as authorities advised people to remain indoors. The typhoon, with winds reaching up to 200 kph (124 mph), is moving toward China's Guangdong province and is anticipated to make landfall soon.
