As for Maisha, please ask urgently!

Maisha made landfall along the coast of Qianjiang Town, Yuhuan County, Zhejiang Province, raging across Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then headed northwest, with winds gradually weakening. Although "Maisha", which is at the end of its useful life, will not have much impact on Beijing, it has left Beijing with heavy rain for two consecutive days.

Experts predict that while this heavy rain will alleviate Beijing's drought, it will also test Beijing's flood control capabilities.

Can dilapidated houses in urban areas withstand heavy rains? Is the urban drainage system smooth? Will Beijing's traffic be paralyzed again? Beijingers began to make their own considerations.

But in fact, compared with Zhejiang and Shanghai, the test of "Maisha" to Beijing is really "little insignificant". According to reports, as of 15:00 on August 6, according to preliminary statistics, "Maisha" caused direct economic losses of 6.56 billion yuan to Zhejiang Province. Eight cities, including Wenzhou, Taizhou, Ningbo, Zhoushan, Lishui, Jiaxing, Huzhou, and Shaoxing, 49 counties (cities, districts), and 623 towns were affected by the disaster, with 8.403 million people affected and 13,108 collapsed houses. Two people died and two are missing due to the disaster. 200,500 hectares of crops were affected, including 712,000 tons of affected area, 224,000 hectares of no-harvest area, and a loss of 241,000 tons of grain; 479,000 hectares of aquaculture areas were lost, and 277,000 tons of aquaculture products were lost; 63,470 industrial and mining enterprises suspended production, and roads 178 lines were interrupted, 266.1 kilometers of highway roadbed (area) were damaged, 558.9 kilometers of transmission lines were damaged, and 465.3 kilometers of communication lines were damaged; 21 small reservoirs and mountain pond reservoirs were damaged, 1,017 embankments of 221.6 kilometers were damaged, and 106 embankment breaches of 17.6 kilometers were damaged. 542 bank revetments were damaged, 111 sluices were damaged, 72 ponds and dams, 1176 irrigation facilities were washed away, 36 electromechanical wells were damaged, 24 hydrological measuring stations were damaged, 201 electromechanical pumping stations and 64 small hydropower stations were damaged. The direct economic losses caused were 6.56 billion yuan, including 480 million yuan in water conservancy facilities, 1.58 billion yuan in industrial direct economic losses, and 2.75 billion yuan in agricultural direct economic losses.

It is reported that last year, typhoon "Yunna", which was said to be the strongest typhoon to hit mainland my country since 1956, caused 164 deaths and 24 missing in Zhejiang Province; direct economic losses of more than 18.1 billion yuan.

According to personnel from the National Meteorological Center, it will take another day or two for the full economic losses caused by "Maisha" to be revealed. Although the above reporter listed a series of documents about the losses caused by "Maisa", overall, the losses caused by "Maisa" to Zhejiang Province, which is fierce and known as the largest typhoon of this century, are compared with those of "Yunna". err.

“Forecasting, taking precautions, and mitigating losses are the best ways to deal with typhoons.” Xu Liangyan, a researcher at the Evaluation Office of the Climate Center of the China Meteorological Administration, told reporters. It is reported that due to the frequent typhoons, Zhejiang Province has made great efforts to invest heavily in the construction of high-standard seawalls and other water conservancy facilities in the past few years. During last year's "Yunna" typhoon, these 1,400 kilometers of water ponds were able to withstand the waves caused by the typhoon. Indispensable contribution. Therefore, in the face of the largest typhoon since 1956, the losses were the smallest in history. We hope that this time "Maisa" will pass through, the result will be the same.

Typhoon "Maisha" moves to Beijing

Vegetable prices in Beijing have not risen yet

Recently, from the coast of Zhejiang The landfall of Typhoon Maisha brought huge economic losses to inland China and seriously affected the lives of local residents.

The reporter learned from the Information Center of the Beijing Municipal Agricultural Bureau that a large number of open-field vegetables have been put on the market in this city, causing vegetable prices to drop at a rapid rate and be lower than the same period last year. However, the amount of rain increases after summer, especially when some bad weather causes continuous rain, which will have a certain impact on vegetable transportation and may increase vegetable prices in the city. However, Typhoon Maisha has only made landfall recently, and its impact on vegetable prices in Beijing has not yet been reflected.

Yesterday, reporters learned from several vegetable wholesale markets in the suburbs of Beijing that the market conditions were not affected by Typhoon Maisha, and vegetable prices did not change much from usual. The supply and transaction volume of several wholesale markets are basically the same as in the past, and there is no large-scale purchase of vegetables. According to the person in charge of Yuegezhuang Vegetable Wholesale Market, vegetable prices in this city are currently not affected by Typhoon Maisha, but if Typhoon Maisha hits this city or surrounding areas, the transportation of vegetables will be affected to a certain extent. , the price will also increase slightly.

The insurance industry: encountering "heavy bleeding"

"Begonia. "Just after leaving, "Maisha" arrived again. While the typhoon brought huge losses to human society and life, it also caused a "storm" in the insurance industry. It is difficult for insurance companies to be happy anymore, and high premium compensation is useless. Large pieces of hail hit the head, causing insurance companies to change their minds.

It is understood that in late July, just after "Begonia" passed, only properties in Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province. The insurance company received nearly 1,500 reports, with a reported loss of 161 million yuan, including 459 corporate property insurance cases, with a reported loss of 145 million yuan; 610 vehicle insurance cases, with a reported loss of 15.535 million yuan. The People's Insurance Company has the heaviest claim settlement task, with more than 3,000 reports of various types, and the amount of reported losses exceeding 200 million yuan.

The staff of Huatai Insurance Company told reporters that the typhoon hit. In certain periods and regions, it will indeed have a certain impact on the insurance industry. Several hailstorms in Beijing in early summer this year caused premium compensation of tens of millions of yuan. When "Maisha" comes, she recommends those who are interested in purchasing insurance. Individuals or companies should choose insurance types based on their own circumstances, such as car insurance and property insurance.

Mr. Shi Bo from Jiangtai Insurance Brokerage Company told reporters that this time "Maisha" arrived in Beijing. At the end of the day, it will not bring a catastrophe to Beijing, and it will not have a big impact on Beijing's insurance industry. But in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, "Maisha" is undoubtedly testing the local insurance industry again.

Coastal housing prices: Will not drop despite the wind

Will "Maisha" cause the cooling of real estate in coastal areas? According to statistics, in the first half of this year, housing prices in Wenzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou and other places increased by more than 15% year-on-year. It seems that the fierce typhoon still failed to "blow up" Binhai housing prices.

On August 4, a central bank survey of 35 major cities across the country showed that housing prices in Jiangsu and other places rose the fastest, with housing sales prices in coastal areas rising 8% year-on-year. It seems that the typhoon has not affected the real estate industry in coastal areas at all.

Wang Hong, a professor at Tsinghua University who is engaged in real estate research, said that the impact of typhoons on coastal real estate is mainly reflected in two aspects. In the short term, it will mainly have a greater impact on tourism real estate. Some villas and hotels near the seaside may experience a sharp drop in tourists due to safety issues when the typhoon approaches.

In the long run, typhoons are generally concentrated between July and October. Major typhoons only occur two or three times a year. They last very short and do not have a great impact on real estate.

The origin of "Maisha"

"Maisha", the gentleness of its literal meaning and its furious and violent temper form a strong Contrast. The English name of "Maisa" is "Matsa", named by Laos, one of the 14 typhoon committee members including China, which means "Mermaid".

Before 2000, our country had been numbering typhoons in the order in which they occurred during the year. For example, the "Typhoon No. 9711" released in 1997 refers to the No. 11 typhoon generated in the Western Pacific in 1997. However, starting from January 1, 2000, in order to raise people's alertness, the Typhoon Committee continued to use the original numbers and named them when issuing typhoon warnings. These names are provided by 14 member countries and regions, each providing 10 names, ranked in a predetermined order, and used on a recurring basis.
