Typhoon Lekima in China leaves at least 32 dead dozens missing: photos
China was struck by the third-largest typhoon in its history on the morning of August 10.
Typhoon Lekima triggered widespread blackouts, flight cancellations, and evacuations across major cities. Landslides and collapsed buildings in China’s east Zhejiang province on Sunday, as well as additional destruction in Shandong province on Monday, left at least 44 people dead and 16 others missing, Reuters said, citing official data.
The storm on Sunday battered the coast south of Shanghai, the nation’s financial capital, which is home to more than 20 million people. The strongest typhoon of the year then headed further north along the east coast and brought torrential rains and heavy winds to the Shandong Province, state media said.
As of Monday, the storm had caused an estimated $2.55 billion in damages, Reuters said.
