Typhoon Doksuri departs southern China as a tropical storm.

TAIPEI: Typhoon Doksuri, which brought high winds and rain and left more than a million people without power in southern China, deteriorated into a tropical storm late on Friday night.

At least 400,000 people were forced to flee their homes as a result of the storm’s landfall in southern Fujian Province on Friday morning. The storm also caused street flooding and toppled electrical transmission lines in the region. According to the state-sponsored Xiamen Evening News, over a million homes were left without electricity.

At 11 p.m. on Friday, the typhoon was downgraded to a tropical storm, according to CCTV, China’s state-run television.

The public was advised to stay indoors, and businesses and summer school classes had been ordered to be suspended. Authorities in the southern Chinese city of Quanzhou claimed that 50 people there had minor injuries. On social media, locals posted pictures of toppled trees on Saturday morning with their roots completely exposed.

Beijing will likely experience heavy rains as the tropical storm makes its way farther inland in China.

The Philippines’ major island, Luzon, was struck by the storm, which then grazed through Taiwan’s main island before producing landslides, flooding, and downed trees. Numerous people were left without a home due to the storm, and it resulted in 41 fatalities, including 27 from a passenger ship capsize.

Officials stated on Saturday that there were still about 20 people missing, including four coast guard members whose boat capsized during a rescue mission in the severely damaged Cagayan province. They also stated that they were keeping an eye on an upcoming storm.
