Typhoon Talim makes landfall in China flooding southern cities

Typhoon Talim has reached Vietnam after passing through China less forcefully than feared, with no deaths reported in either country despite nearly 260,000 people relocating before the storm hit. Talim first made landfall in southern China late Monday evening, battering the coast of Guangdong province with maximum winds of 85 miles per hour. By Tuesday it had weakened to a tropical storm as it slowly made its way across the Vietnamese island of Bach Long Vi before moving towards the neighbouring Chinese region of Guangxi. #china #asia #typhoon Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
