Precautionary measures are being taken as a massive typhoon approaches southern China.
CRI's He Fei has the details.
Typhoon Utor, the strongest typhoon so far this year, is forecast to make landfall in southeast Guangdong sometime Wednesday evening.
As such, shipping 1 and train services on the Qiongzhou Strait, which runs between the mainland and Hainan, have been suspended.
The massive storm is currently tracking toward the Leizhou Peninsula.
It's brining with it winds of around 175-kilometers per hour in the center of the storm.
Utor is already stirring up waves of 3.5 to 4.5-meters in height on Hainan and along Guangdong's coastal 2 areas, bringing heavy rains along with it as well.
The storm is creating swells 3 of up to 10-meters high in the northern part of the South China Sea.
Local authorities in affected 4 regions are being told to remain on duty around the clock.
Forecasters are expecting the storm to continue tracking over the Leizhou Peninsula, where it's expected to weaken significantly into a tropical storm by Thursday.
However, it is expected to dump heavy amounts of rain into parts of Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou before dissipating.
Utor rolled through the northern Philippines over the weekend, killing 5 at least one person and leaving some 40 others missing.
