Elsewhere in Shanghai, 253,000 people were relocated early Saturday, with parts of the city's rail transit services including the maglev train temporarily suspended. The typhoon blew down nearly 3,000 trees and destroyed 100 power lines, among which 80 have been restored so far.

Shanghai has been affected by heavy rainstorm since Friday afternoon, according to the municipal flood control department.
