HANGZHOU -- Typhoon Saomai, the eighth to hit China this year, made landfall in Cangnan County, east China's Zhejiang Province, at 5:25 p.m. Thursday, said the provincial meteorological observatory. The typhoon is lashing Cangnan with gales and rainstorms, and has already toppled more than 1,000 houses, cut 97 percent of power lines in the county and 40 percent of local communication links.

Over 80 people have been injured, according to local sources, and 20,000 hectares of rice fields had been inundated. 30 millimeters of rain fell in the space of just one hour.
Affected by the super typhoon, the neighboring Fujian Province reported two deaths and 12 others are missing.
The maritime department said the two dead were from the city of Fuding but their identities still remained unknown.
Strong wind also made two ships from Taiwan capsize on the sea near the city's Shacheng Harbor, leaving altogether eight Taiwanese missing.
Also in this area, another fishing boat from Fujian was reported having stricken a reef and the whereabouts of four people aboard are unknown, said the department.

At least 1.33 million people in China -- 760,000 in Zhejiang and about 571,000 in Fujian -- have been evacuated, from the path of Typhoon Saomai, which has upgraded to extremely powerful.

The eye of the typhoon had a wind velocity of 216 km per hour when it landed, said the observatory. "It is the strongest typhoon landed in southeast China in the last 50 years," said Xi Jinping, Communist Party secretary of Zhejiang Province. Li Yuzhu, head of the Zhejiang provincial observatory, said Wednesday, "Saomai has outpaced forecasts and outrun the powerful Typhoon Rananim that claimed 164 lives in Zhejiang in August 2004."

In Wenzhou alone, 42 people from nine villages were killed and five were missing in a landslide caused by Rananim.

In the adjacent Fujian Province, more than 36,000 vessels have returned to harbor and outdoor activities in all 26,800 schools in the province have been suspended, as Saomai approaches with Bopha, forecast to be the ninth tropical storm to hit China this year, close behind.

However, the local observatory said Bopha had weakened to a low pressure at around 4:00 p.m. Wednesday and would affect Fujian to a lesser degree.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong Airport Authority announced that six Hong Kong-Taiwan flights had been cancelled and 11 delayed by 9:15 a.m. on Thursday, as Saomei approached Taiwan.

Taiwan meteorological departments said Saomai was about 180 km off Keelung by 8:00 a.m. on Thursday.

On Wednesday, the State Disaster Relief Commission instructed coastal regions of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi to prepare for Saomai and Bopha.

Civil affairs bueaux were put on 24-hour alert and provincial-level authorities were ordered to report damage four hours after the typhoon made landfall.

Warehouses for disaster-relief goods and materials allocated by the central government were to be prepared, and railway emergency mechanism was triggered to ensure safe transport of essential materials.

Zhejiang provincial government has ordered factories, schools and markets to suspend operations and outdoor activities to be minimized.

People living between the primary and secondary seawalls should be evacuated to safe areas, and those in unstable homes, sheds and low-lying areas should move to safer structures.

Rescue teams from power supply, transport, telecommunications and medical service sectors were put on stand-by. Police were urged to maintain social security.
The provincial meteorological authorities also warned of possible typhoon-incurred landslides, collapse, mud-rock flows and mountain torrents.

sono sempre combattuto: da un lato l'eccitazione per l'evento, l'ammirazione per la forza della natura;

dall'altro le oltre 100 vittime e il milion edi persone senza tetto .... poveracci
