Typhoon 'Linfa' lands in Shanwei city in Guangdong province
臺風蓮花登陸廣東汕尾
A typhoon has just landed in southwest China. One of the two that were headed that way.
Typhoon "Linfa" hit Shanwei City in Guangdong province about 2 hours ago, whipping up gale-force winds in the area. No damage or casualties have been reported so far. The national weather administration says "Linfa" will move southwest-ward and sweep along the coast line of Guangdong province.
Weather authorities on Thursday put many areas on high alert. Torrential rains and strong winds are forecast for the next two days for Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Yunnan provinces as well as Taiwan. The other typhoon "Chan-Hom" is closely behind and more powerful.
It's expected to arrive in the East China Sea a day later, and strengthen into a super typhoon by the time it hits Fujian and neighbouring Zhejiang province.
