Typhoon lashes south China with heavy rain, winds

None

Typhoon Chanthu sent debris flying through the air in southern China's Guangdong province on Thursday, bringing rain that could aggravate the country's worst floods in a decade.

 

No casualties have been reported so far from Chanthu, which was upgraded from a tropical storm one day earlier. Authorities urged residents to stay indoors as winds reached up to 70 miles per hour. The storm comes as China grapples with severe flooding that has left more than 701 people dead and 347 missing so far this year, according to the flood prevention agency. (AP)
