BEIJING - Typhoon Saola, hundreds of miles from China's coastline, forced provinces to enact emergency response measures on Tuesday and call fishing boats back to ports along the southeastern coast as gale force winds and gusts whipped across the South China Sea.
Saola also forced Fujian's Xiamen city to suspend some passenger ferry services, state broadcaster China Central Television reported.There is uncertainty regarding Saola's path, China's national forecaster said, as it is expected to interact with another Typhoon Haikui, which formed in northwestern Pacific on Monday. But there is a danger of it becoming the fourth typhoon to make landfall in China this year.
It was also forecasted to sweep past southern Taiwan and the Hong Observatory said it would consider issuing warnings later this week.
