News article:

"Typhoon rains and high winds tore through parts of eastern China, leaving
23 people dead, five missing and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of
thousands, officials said Sunday.
Worst hit was Wenzhou, a large industrial city of 7 million in coastal
Zhejiang province, near where Typhoon Sinlaku made landfall at around 6:30
p.m. on Saturday. A city official, who refused to give his name, said
Sunday that 16 people were dead and one missing. The China Meteorological
Administration has said Sinlaku packed sustained winds of 81 mph. Up to 3.5
inches of rain inundated Zhejiang, Lu said."
