Synopsis
Ningbo experiences typhoons every year, and this September brought two: the first, Xuanlanuo, and the second, Meihua. Meihua was particularly strong; campuses flooded and the machine rooms in two dormitory blocks were waterlogged, cutting the internet. Consequently, all primary and secondary schools in Ningbo suspended classes, while universities mostly shifted to online learning. The disruption is somewhat humane, avoiding a commute through floodwater to class. The rain and wind were powerful—video may not fully convey it, but deepest water reached below knee level. For those in the affected areas, stay safe and vigilant.
Typhoon 'Meihua' halts offline teaching and switches to online.
There are several typhoons in Ningbo every year; it has become routine. If there were no typhoons, some might find it a bit strange. This September, two typhoons arrived. The first was 'Xuanlanuo'; the current one is 'Meihua'.
The second typhoon 'Meihua' is indeed somewhat fierce; the school's interior is flooded, the machine rooms in the two dormitory buildings have flooded and the network is cut. As a result, Ningbo's primary, junior high, and high schools have all suspended classes; universities have mostly switched to online. It's quite humane; otherwise they'd have to wade through puddles to attend class.
