Nearly 1 mln flee approaching typhoon in China

BEIJING (AFP) - Authorities have evacuated nearly one million people from the
southeast coast of China, where Typhoon Morakot was expected to make landfall
later on Sunday after lashing Taiwan, state media reported.

The Xinhua news agency said that 473,300 residents of the coastal province of
Zhejiang had been moved, while more than 480,000 people were evacuated from
neighboring Fujian province.

More than 35,000 ships have been called in to port as the storm closes in,
bringing torrential rain and heavy wind, Xinhua quoted the provincial
flood-control headquarters in Zhejiang as saying.

A number of expressways in the region have been closed as a precaution, the
news agency said, quoting the provincial highways management authority.

Parts of Fujian had already reported 30 centimetres (12 inches) of rain from
early Saturday until Sunday morning, Xinhua said.

In Taiwan, one person was killed and at least 29 were missing after Morakot
lashed the island on Saturday, rescuers and officials said.

Troops were mobilised to rescue tens of thousands of residents trapped in the
island's worst flooding in 50 years, officials said.

The typhoon had dumped a massive 2.5 metres (100 inches) of rain on Taiwan's
southern Pingtung county by early Sunday, flooding at least three coastal
townships, the government said.

天佑台灣....中南部的雨快停吧

看到美麗的南台灣變成這樣滿目瘡痍真是心痛啊
