    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     iReporter genhall in Shanghai, China noticed the wind begin to pick up in the city around mid morning local time, before the deluge of rain fell from Tropical Storm Haikui, which has already lashed the Philippines and made landfall in China on Wednesday morning. "There were was lot of preparation. I went downstairs at 4pm and emergency workers were draining the streets and doing their jobs with drainage and transportation safety," our iReporter said. "Folks walking around seemed unfazed, but cautious of the weather."
    - sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer

    Downtown Shanghai overlooking Rei Jing Yi Road and DaGu Road with typhoon Haikui dumping rain and wind. Roads seem to be filling with water. Traffic still possible, although very light traffic. Few pedestrian out and about, with sporadic high wind and rain gusts.
