Storm and rain lash South China
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. |
