Some 300,000 people in eastern China have fled their homes as Typhoon Soulik moves inland amid warnings of floods and landslides, state media reported yesterday.
Winds of 119 km/hour (74 mph) lashed the coastal Fujian Province, said China's National Meteorological Centre.
Emergency response plans were being implemented, said Xinhua state media, after recent torrential rain reportedly left 200 people dead or missing.
The typhoon earlier led to extensive flooding on the island of Taiwan, while more than 8,500 people were evacuated from mountainous and other areas prone to landslides, reported the BBC.
?In Fujian and Zhejiang, another Chinese coastal province, flights and train services were cancelled and fishing boats called back to shore.
The strong winds and heavy rain have caused electricity disruptions, a run on food and essential supplies in supermarkets, and uprooted trees and signs in some areas.
According to Reuters, Typhoon Soulik? is set to pass close to the far southern Japanese islands of Ishigaki and Miyako. - July 14, 2013.
