In the early hours of Sunday morning, Typhoon Noul made landfall along the coast of Guangdong province, carrying winds of 145 kilometers per hour and the full weight of a season that has already tested southern China more than once. More than 340,000 people had been moved from its path before it arrived — a testament to the hard-won knowledge that preparation, however disruptive, is the only answer humanity has found to the indifference of storms. The typhoon is weakening now, but the rain continues, and the region waits in that familiar space between crisis and recovery.
