Nearly one-million people have been evacuated from the coastal regions of China as Typhoon Morakot blew in.
Winds of up 119km/h (74mph) destroyed houses and flooded farmland, before it weakened to a tropical storm.
Flights were cancelled and fishing boats recalled to shore. A small boy died when a building collapsed.
Meanwhile, in Japan nine people are reported dead in floods and landslides after Typhoon Etau brought heavy rain to the west of the country.
Eight people died in Hyogo prefecture, including one man whose car was swept away by a swollen river, and another died in neighbouring Okayama prefecture.
Another 10 people are missing.
‘Treetops visible’
Chinese state media said that the sky turned completely dark in Beibi, Fujian, when Typhoon Morakot made landfall on Sunday morning.
Trees were uprooted as high winds and heavy rain lashed the coast, and more than 2,000 houses are reported to have collapsed.
Some 473,000 residents of Zhejiang province were evacuated before the typhoon struck, as well as 480,000 from Fujian, Xinhua news agency said.
In Zhejiang’s Wenzhou City a four year-old child was killed when a house collapsed. Dozens of roads were said to be flooded and the city’s airport was closed.
Rescuers used dinghies to reach worst-hit areas; in one area only the tops of trees were said to be showing above the floodwater.
Taiwan devastation
Earlier, Morakot dumped 250cm of rain on Taiwan as it crossed the island, washing away bridges and roads.
At least three people died in some of the worst flooding for 50 years.
In one incident, an entire hotel – empty at the time – was swept away by the waters.
At least three people were known to have died – a woman whose car went into a ditch and two men who drowned.
Thirty-one others were reported missing, Taiwan’s Disaster Relief Centre said. Among them were a group reportedly washed away from a make-shift shelter in Kaohsiung in the south.
At least 10,000 people were trapped in three coastal towns, a local official in the southern county of Pingtung said.
In Chihpen, one of Taiwan’s most famous hot spring resorts, a hotel collapsed after flood waters undermined its foundations.
Morakot – which means emerald in Thai – has also contributed to heavy rains in the Philippines. At least 10 people were killed in flooding and landslides in the north.
Typhoons are frequent in the region between July and September.

Taiwan braces for Typhoon Morakot
August 7th, 2009 |
No Comments
Taiwan has closed schools and offices and cancelled flights as the strongest typhoon of the year nears the island.
Typhoon Morakot is expected to pass directly over the capital, Taipei, with winds of about 145km/h (90mph) and heavy rainfall, meteorologists said.
Landslides and power outages have been reported in the north of the island.
Thousands of people have already been evacuated from their homes in China, where Morakot is expected to make landfall on Saturday.
Text message warning
Millions of people living in the north of Taiwan are sheltering in their homes, awaiting the arrival of Morakot.
All domestic flights and many international flights have been cancelled, service on the island’s high-speed railroad has been suspended and seaports have been closed due to the high winds. Gusts have reached up to 180km/h (112mph).
Nearly 50cm (20 inches) of rain has already fallen in some mountainous areas. Some minor landslides have been reported in the north of the island and power has been cut to about 25,000 households.
Taiwan’s weather bureau has said the impact of the typhoon could be prolonged as it is moving slowly.
On the mainland of China, state media said that more than 20,000 people had been evacuated from their homes in Fujian province.
The provincial government has sent more than 8m mobile phone text messages to residents warning them of the typhoon’s approach, the Chinese state news agency reports.
Fishing vessels and other boats have been ordered to take shelter in ports.
The storm’s impact has been felt far to the north and south of its track.
Japan’s weather bureau reported heavy rain and strong winds on the country’s southern islands, forcing the cancellation of more than 200 flights in Okinawa and Kagoshima prefectures, Kyodo news agency says.
Morakot has also contributed to heavy rains in the Philippines, where at least 10 people were killed in flooding and landslides in the north.
Typhoons are frequent in the region between July and September.

Chinese blogger tweets arrest SOS
July 17th, 2009 |

• Twitterer amoiist caught up in police blog probe
• Inquiry centres on murder ‘libel’ against officials
The hundreds following amoiist on Twitter were used to his stream of messages. But they ended abruptly with two terse updates early yesterday morning.
“i have been arrested by Mawei police, SOS” he wrote. Then shortly afterwards: “Pls help me, I grasp the phone during police sleep.”
His followers quickly passed on his plea to other Twitterers. But since then there has been silence from amoiist – also known as Peter Guo, or Guo Bofeng – who is apparently the latest internet user to be caught up in an inquiry that began with claims of defamation but which police now say involves “state secrecy issues”.
As many as seven bloggers have been detained over claims that a 25-year-old woman, Yan Xiaoling, had been gang-raped and murdered. It was further alleged that the man responsible was connected to local authorities in her city in Fujian province, southern China.
Officials dismissed the stories, which first surfaced in late June, and insisted Yan had suffered a haemorrhage caused by an ectopic pregnancy. They turned their attention to tracking down those they suspected were responsible for the stories.
According to Global Voices Online, Guo posted an interview with Yan’s mother in which she repeated the claims and accused local authorities of a cover-up.
An employee at Mawei police station told the Guardian: “These cases are in the process of investigation. We are not in charge of the case so we can’t tell you more. We will release information if there is progress.”
The case is testament both to the growing ability of Chinese citizens to share information through the internet, and to the restrictions on those who do.
In a recent, unpublished interview with the Guardian over the government’s Green Dam censorship programme, Guo said: “The significance of internet in China is huge. It can’t change the current situation in China right away, but it has deeply influenced China. Through the internet, Chinese society has become more and more diverse, and more importantly many people who are unaware of the truth have started to hear different voices.”
Guo, who described himself on Twitter as “a trouble maker in Amoy [Xiamen], living with character sales”, is reportedly a professional interpreter. His two calls for help were in English, although he generally uses Chinese.
He often blogs and tweets about news, current affairs and internet censorship, frequently with a satirical tinge, and has more than 1,500 Twitter followers. A message posted several hours before his pleas read: “Peter Guo, one of the twitterers in China, originally from the Fujian countryside, not a famous blogger; people called him amoiist, good character, young, handsome.”
Liu Xiaoyuan, who represents another detained blogger, You Jingyou, said lawyers had been told they could not meet their clients because the case involved “state secrets”.
Liu’s client wrote his power of attorney in advance because he feared he might be the next to be detained. Another man who was away when police visited his home yesterday told Liu he believed they planned to detain him.
The lawyer said: “I do not know why exactly [You] was detained. Whether it is because he wrote something or he spread something or planned something is still unknown. But from the police we know it was connected to the Yan Xiaoling case.”
He said bloggers had been held more frequently in the last two years. “I think it is because the internet’s power is getting bigger and bigger and the internet uncovers many issues so the authorities get more pressure.”
Another lawyer told the Xinkuaibao newspaper that if officials had been libelled they should sue the bloggers involved rather than launching a criminal case. “We can tell that the local officials haven’t caught up with the need for the development of open information and the internet. They have not adapted to it and feel it is a big deal if some bad information appears on the net.”
Twitter is blocked in China but many on the mainland still tweet through a variety of means.
