Over 400,000 people in China have been evacuated in anticipation of Typhoon Fitow. A report from The National Weather Service in Taunton, MA has indicated the potential for heavy or torrential rain to five Chinese provinces over the next three days. Some North American areas, particularly Hampden County of Massachusetts and Western portions of Vermont, may see rainfall of in excess of .10 inches, unrelated to the typhoon.
Per the alert: "Residents are encouraged to seek immediate shelter. Those with access to a boat should prepare the vessel for, what could become, days or weeks at 'sea'."
TWN will be providing updates to this alert, and more of the same, as information becomes available.
