The most devastating typhoon this year hit coastal provinces in East China yesterday, leaving at least one dead, nearly 1 million people relocated, and causing severe flooding as the nation braced for more rain today.
The deadly typhoon, which swept across the west Pacific region during the weekend, already claimed at least 23 lives and four lives respectively when it hit the Philippines and Taiwan's Hualien region, causing the worst flooding in the island in half a century.
The typhoon caused a six-storey hot spring resort to collapse and flipped over sections of a bridge near Hualien on Saturday. At least 31 people were reported missing.
Floods and landslides paralyzed traffic in many rural areas.
Farmers tried to protect their production facilities against high waves. The supply of vegetables and seafood to markets was severely affected.
Local governments issued flood warnings.
All the rain and winds have cut off electricity in some places
