Biggest Typhoon in 30 Years
A typhoon roared across China’s southern Hainan on Monday, the strongest storm to hit the tropical resort island in more than 30 years, and forced more than 170,000 people to flee their homes.
Typhoon Damrey had caused “casualties,” flattened houses and damaged crops on an island often referred to as China’s Hawaii since it made landfall on Sunday, but the full extent of the destruction was unknown, a disaster relief official said.
He gave no details of the casualties and there was no immediate word of damage to hotels. But he said 170,000 people had been evacuated to safety.
