More than a hundred thousand people were evacuated from Shanghai as Typhoon Pulasan brought heavy rains that broke local records in parts of the Chinese megacity.

Roads and neighborhoods in Shanghai flooded on Friday as the Chinese megacity was battered by a second typhoon days after it was hit by its strongest storm in 75 years. Typhoon Pulasan made landfall Thursday night in the city's Fengxian district, with a maximum wind speed of 83 kph, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency.

Pulasan was expected to make landfall near the Chinese financial hub by Friday morning. Forecasters warned of potential floods and landslides.
