Storm lashes east with rain and wind | South China Morning Post: he nation's east was lashed yesterday by torrential downpours from Typhoon Soulik, which forced the evacuation of half a million people after killing two people in Taiwan.
Soulik whipped coastal Fujian with winds of 118km/h when it made landfall on Saturday but weakened to a tropical depression as it moved inland, reaching Jiangxi province early yesterday, the China Meteorological Administration said.
More than half a million people were evacuated from Fujian and Zhejiang as Soulik approached, with 5,500 soldiers poised to carry out relief work.
