What are the super typhoons that have landed in China?, Counting Typhoon 74 Years | Moranti | Typhoon
Typhoon Dussuri is already on its way, and its power cannot be underestimated.
On July 26, this year's first typhoon red warning has been sounded. According to the news from the Central Meteorological Observatory at 17:04 on July 27, typhoon "Du Suri" has once again strengthened into a super typhoon. It is expected to approach my country at a speed of 15-20 kilometers per hour and make landfall in the coastal areas of Fujian from the morning to the morning of the 28th.
China has been 4 years without a super typhoon landing
Super typhoon, as the leader of the typhoon industry, has made a total of 12 landfall records in China since 74 years in 1949. The latest super typhoon was Lichima four years ago, which made landfall in Wenling, Zhejiang and penetrated into Shandong, Jiangsu and other areas, causing serious impacts on the local area.

The upcoming "Dussuri" is very similar to the 2016 "Moranti" in terms of generation time, path, and intensity.
On September 10, 2016, Moranti formed over the western Pacific Ocean and upgraded to a severe tropical storm 24 hours later. After 36 hours, it completed a triple jump of typhoon, strong typhoon, and super typhoon.
Under the heavy impact of Morandi, about 17000 houses were damaged in Xiamen, and the affected area of crops exceeded 100000 acres. In Chinese Mainland, 28 people were killed and 49 injured.
Due to the huge losses it caused, Moranti was eventually removed from the following typhoon naming list by the Typhoon Committee.

Typhoon landfall in China: Guangdong is the most windy, Taiwan is the most injured
In the 74 year typhoon data, Guangdong was the most favored by typhoons. From 1949 to 2022, there were as many as 202 typhoons that made landfall in Guangdong, 99 more than Taiwan, which ranked second.
However, in terms of intensity, Taiwan has suffered more damage and blocked many strong typhoons and super typhoons for the mainland.
From a geographical perspective, Taiwan, located on the east side of Fujian, is a natural typhoon barrier. Generally speaking, there are few super typhoons that bypass Taiwan and directly make landfall in Fujian.

According to China Weather Network, over 70% of typhoons that make landfall in Fujian are second-hand typhoons that first make landfall in Taiwan and then in Fujian. These typhoons that made landfall twice showed a significant decrease in landfall intensity, with an average intensity dropping by two levels.
Typhoon "Niebert" was still a super typhoon when it landed on Taiwan Island. On the island of Taiwan, it was blocked by the nearly 4000-meter-high central mountain range, and its power was greatly weakened. In the end, the wind intensity of "Nibert" dropped by 4 levels in a row, turned into a tropical storm, marched northwest, and hit Fujian.
Typhoon Dussuri, which bypassed Taiwan, is coming with great force and may become one of the most severely affected typhoons in the new century. Are everyone ready for protection?
