Large sections of Guangzhou, one of China’s largest and most prosperous cities, is in total darkness tonight after a wind storm knocked out power to several districts.
The Guangzhou Power Supply Bureauposted to its Weibo account saying parts of Haizhu and Panyu districts are without power after typhoon Mujigae made landfall in South China over the weekend.
The Power Supply Bureau said debris struck its Guangnan power station, which led to the outage. There’s no timeline on when power will be restored, but police have dispatched officers to help at intersections.
Haizhu and Panyu are two heavily populated areas in Guangzhou, both to the south of the city. Combined, according to some estimates, the districts are home to some three million people.
