超强台风“浣熊”袭来 中国要求船只回避

A warning to shipping has gone out for Chinese vessels plying the East China Sea.

Super Typhoon Neoguri is going to roll through the region along the east coast of China over the next 48-hours.

The typhoon is currently packing winds of 185 kilometers per hour.

While it's not expected to make landfall in China, forecasters are advising shipping in the region to change their course to avoid the storm.

Forecasters are warning the massive typhoon is going to generate waves of as high as 12-meters in the fishing grounds off the coast of Fujian.

Neoguri is currently about 700-kilometers east of Taiwan and is tracking due north.

It's expected to make a turn into the Japanese home islands later this week.
