Tropical storm Fengshen brought more rain and misery to southern China on Wednesday, throwing life out of gear in the economic hubs of Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
Fengshen, downgraded from a typhoon after killing hundreds of people in the Philippines, hit Shenzhen, Guangdong province, early Wednesday morning.
But before that it struck Hong Kong, uprooting trees, pulling down bamboo scaffoldings and causing a heavy downpour.
The storm caused rainfall in many parts of southern and some parts of eastern China. Though it hit Jiangxi province too, Guangdong bore the brunt of its assault.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region closed all schools and colleges for the day. And markets, including the stock exchange, opened only after the city's highest storm alert was lowered.
The Hong Kong Airport Authority said 139 incoming and outgoing flights had been delayed or canceled in the morning.
Public transport companies resumed services around noon, and flash floods and landslides were reported from many areas.作者: tmhua88 时间: 2008-9-3 12:29
Shanwei city, less than 200 km east of Shenzhen, around 4 am.
Shenzhen's meteorological station forecast that city could receive up to 200 mm rain in two days.
The storm moved in the northeasterly direction after tearing through Shenzhen, causing heavy rain in other cities on the route.
Fengshen, meaning "wind god" in Chinese, is likely to move northward before it loses strength, the Guangdong meteorological station said.
It will bring torrential rain across a wide swathe of southern and eastern China, including Fujian, Guangxi, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, Xinhua, quoting meteorological sources, said.
Rainstorms and floods in the heavily industrialized south have claimed 63 lives this year, according to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Thirteen people are still missing and 1.6 million have been displaced.
