A storm drenched south-east China yesterday after killing five people on Taiwan and prompting the evacuation of 1.4 million people on the mainland, officials said, as the death toll from a separate storm in Vietnam rose to 55. Typhoon Krosa hit land in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces but was soon downgraded to a tropical storm, the official Xinhua news agency said. It said no deaths or injuries were reported, but Krosa wrecked houses and knocked out power in the port city of Wenzhou.

In Vietnam, the death toll from Typhoon Lekima, which hit the country's central coast late on Wednesday, rose to 55, with another 16 people missing, officials said yesterday. The death toll in the central province of Nghe An rose to 22 after eight more bodies were discovered, said provincial disaster official Pham Hong Thuong. The death toll was likely to rise as communications improved. Source : Guardian UK / Natural Disasters
