中秋佳节之际，厦门等地却遭遇今年以来全球最强台风（the strongest typhoon so far this year in the world）“莫兰蒂”（Meranti）的袭击。这也是1949年以来闽南地区遭遇的最强台风（the strongest typhoon to hit southern Fujian since 1949）。据悉，台风“莫兰蒂”登陆时的最大风力高达48米/秒（with top gales up to 48 meters per second）。目前，它已给多地造成重大经济损失（cause great economic loss），使上百万人受灾。
Typhoon Meranti, registered as a super typhoon before losing strength after sweeping across southern Taiwan, made landfall in the early hours of Thursday near Xiamen, Fujian.
超强台风“莫兰蒂”横扫台湾南部后强度有所减弱，于15日凌晨在福建厦门附近登陆。
