China’s typhoon causes 14 deaths and mass evacuation
Typhoon Soudelor battered the east coast over the weekend, killing 14 people and leading to hundreds of flights being cancelled.
Hundreds of thousands were evacuated after flash floods caused landslides.
Fujian raised its typhoon alert to the highest level in anticipation of the storm, with at least 163,000 people evacuated to higher ground.
There were reports of more evacuations in neighbouring Zhejiang, said the BBC.
More than 530 flights were cancelled and 191 high-speed trains were suspended on Saturday.
The typhoon had killed six people in Taiwan earlier in the weekend, then moved across the Taiwan Strait and slammed into the mainland’s Fujian province late on Saturday.
