Typhoon Dolphin hit China’s eastern coast on Sunday evening after forcing over 300,000 people to preemptively relocate and Shanghai’s two airports to cancel more than 1,300 flights.
The storm brought heavy rains to northern Taiwan the day before.
In the Philippines, five people were rescued and seven remained missing after a landslide that hit three houses in the northern mountain resort city of Baguio on Sunday.
The landslide was set off by days of heavy monsoon rains, which had been intensified by Dolphin, officials said.
Dolphin hit the Chinese city of Taizhou in Zhejiang province and the northern parts of neighboring Fujian province, bringing strong winds, estimated at 151 kph (93 mph) when it made landfall, and massive waves to the city’s coastline.
Heavy rains have created a risk of severe flooding in Zhejiang, and authorities have warned of severe landslide risks.
