Guangdong province is officially the unlucky star of 2024, as Tapah, the 16th typhoon crashing the party, sends public services into an existential crisis. Yes, you read that right – the 16th! This relentless tropical guest has managed to disrupt everything from transport to power grids like clockwork chaos. Authorities are probably rethinking if Typhoon Tapah isn’t just a seasonal bad luck charm. Imagine a year where your local weather updates feel like a broken record playing “Tapah’s Back!” Guangdong's citizens might soon apply for loyalty cards or lifetime subscriptions to the disaster club. Fun fact: the number 16 here definitely doesn’t signify a sweet vote, but rather the town’s new unofficial masochistic record.
