GUANGZHOU, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Typhoon Man-yi is approaching and has brought tidal waves to south China's Guangdong Province, causing waterlogging in several cities and towns and prompting the suspension of ferry services.
Ferry services across the Qiongzhou Strait and on several other routes have been suspended, according to Guangdong's marine safety administration.
Meteorological authorities said the typhoon, combined with a cold spell, has caused a storm surge along Guangdong's coast.
On Monday evening, some streets in Shenzhen were inundated by seawater. Authorities said the seawater intrusion lasted about one to two hours and did not cause serious damage.
Similar waterlogging was also reported in the city of Shanwei on Monday evening, without causing casualties.
Local authorities have predicted seawater intrusion in the coming days and advised residents to reduce outdoor activities. ■
