Typhoon Saola makes landfall in Guangdong, killing one and causing damage and flooding
ABCTyphoon Saola made landfall in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong as violent winds lashed nearby Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macau, leaving at least one dead and a trail of destruction and flooding. Key points: Authorities on alert as the downgraded super typhoon moves towards Taiwan Signs ripped from buildings and areas flooded as storm hit Major financial centres slowly reopening after the storm The Asian financial hub of Hong Kong and China's neighbouring populous province of Guangdong cancelled hundreds of flights on Friday and shut businesses, schools, and financial markets as Saola edged closer. Super Typhoon Saola caused major shutdowns for some of the region's most important financial sectors, now slowly reopening. Haikui, a typhoon not as strong as Saola, was forecast to make landfall on Taiwan's far south-eastern coast late on Sunday afternoon and bring heavy rain across the island into next week.
