Near its eye, the storm packed winds of more than 151km/h (94mph). The city had not seen a storm of this size since Typhoon Gloria in 1949. More than 414,000 people were evacuated ahead of Bebinca's arrival and emergency crews were put on standby. All residents were advised to stay indoors for their own safety. The storm disrupted travel during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, as major roads were closed and air, rail and sea travel was suspended. Services started to resume shortly after the storm passed the city and made its way into Jiangsu province.
