HANGZHOU, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- China's east coast remains 1 on alert Friday as a pair of typhoons threaten to wreak 2 havoc 3.
Typhoon Bolaven, the 15th typhoon of the year, was gaining force Friday and was forecast to reach the East China Sea on Sunday, the weather bureau of Zhejiang Province said in a press release Friday night.
It said the Zhoushan Islands were on high alert of the typhoon.
Bolaven was located at 21.7 north latitude 4 and 133.2 east longitude 5 at 2 p.m., packing winds of 41.4 meters per second and moving northwest at 15 km per hour, it said.
Local authorities in Zhoushan have warned citizens to be on guard against the typhoon and banned fishing boats from going out to the sea.
Meanwhile, typhoon Tembin, whose center was in seawater off Taiwan Friday afternoon, threatened to soak the eastern Fujian Province over the weekend, the local meteorological station said.
It said gales 6 were already sweeping 7 at 24.5 meters per second in Fujian's coastal 8 areas Friday, and could intensify 9 in the coming two days.
A direct ferry service between Fujian's Pingtan to Taiwan will be suspended for three days from Saturday to Monday.
Tembin struck southern Taiwan Friday, toppling trees, overturning vehicles and dumping rains that swelled 10 rivers and flooded homes and farmlands.
China's National Marine 11 Environmental Forecasting Center also warned the public of the dual 12 typhoons Friday, raising the alert level to yellow.
Earlier this month, dual-typhoons "Damrey" and "Saola" left eight people dead and forced the evacuation of about 1.3 million residents in the coastal regions as of Aug. 5.
