Typhoon Krosa hits China
More than a million people were evacuated from China's southeastern coast ahead of a powerful typhoon that killed five in northern Taiwan.
Typhoon Krosa made landfll Sunday bearing winds of 78 mph as it hit the heavily populated Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, the BBC reported.
The storm killed five people in Taiwan Saturday and left more than two million homes and businesses without electricity.
An estimated 27,000 fishing boats were recalled to port in the 16th typhoon to hit China this year. Emergency workers were recalled early from a week-long national Chinese holiday and more than 2,000 people were evacuated from resorts areas.
Meanwhile, Vietnamese officials said at least 40 people had died as a result of Typhoon Lekima, which struck earlier this week, and more than 20 are still missing. Disaster officials estimate the cost of the damage in Vietnam at more than $40 million. // Copyright 2007 by United Press International
