A typhoon is heading toward southern China and Hong Kong after bringing record-breaking winds and leaving one dead in Taiwan
A typhoon headed toward southern China and Hong Kong on Friday after bringing record-breaking winds and leaving one dead in Taiwan. Typhoon Koinu was weakening as it headed west across the South China Sea toward China's Guangdong province, the China Meteorological Administration said. It was forecast to turn to the southwest in waters off the coast by Sunday.
Ferry service was suspended in parts of Guangdong province, and the city of Guangzhou canceled some flights and trains. One person was killed by flying glass in the Taiwanese city of Taichung on Thursday and more than 300 others were injured around the island, Taiwan’s fire department said. Pounding rain and wind gusts downed trees and damaged buildings. Koinu, which means “puppy” in Japanese, brought the fastest wind ever recorded in Taiwan as it approached on Wednesday night.
