Haikui

Taiwan cancelled flights and closed schools in parts of its southern region on Wednesday ahead of Typhoon Koinu's expected landfall, the second major storm to make a direct hit on the island in a month.

Thousands of people were evacuated from their homes and vehicles were swept away in floods as storms from now weakened Typhoon Haikui made landfall in China's southeastern Fujian province early on Tuesday after battering Taiwan for the past two days.

Typhoon Haikui made landfall on eastern Taiwan Sunday, unleashing torrential downpours, whipping winds and plunging thousands of households into darkness as the first major storm to directly hit the island in four years.

Nearly 3,000 people were evacuated from high-risk areas in eastern Taiwan ahead of Typhoon Haikui as authorities prepared Sunday for the first tropical storm to directly hit the island in four years.

A dam collapsed in an eastern Chinese city on Friday following heavy rains, flooding the nearby areas and killing 10 people. Dikes of Shenjiakeng Reservoir, a rainwater pooling dam in eastern Zhejiang Province's Zhoushan City, collapsed on Friday morning.

Five people were killed and several injured as typhoon Haikui continued to wreak havoc in eastern China, forcing millions to evacuate the region. The storm, which came ashore in Zhejiang province early yesterday, brought heavy rains and winds.
