"Deadly typhoon rakes across China" by Associated Press | September 22, 2010
BEIJING — Flooding and landslides from Typhoon Fanapi killed 13 people in southern China and left at least 33 missing, an official said today, as the strongest storm to hit the country this year continued to drop heavy rain on parts of the region....
The state-run Xinhua News Agency said the dead included five people killed after a dam at the Xinyi Yinyan Tin Mine in Xinyi city was hit by a landslide and collapsed.
Nearly 350 houses were toppled in Xinyi, Xinhua reported.
In southern Taiwan, two people died in flash flooding caused by Fanapi, which caused tens of millions of dollars of damage, dumping more than 40 inches of rain in places.
Fanapi was the first major storm to strike the island this year and the 11th typhoon to hit China. It had weakened before landing in Fujian Province.
And it still caused all that damage.

Fanapi had killed 54 and left 42 missing as of midday yesterday, said an official surnamed Zhou with Guangdong’s flood control and drought relief headquarters....
In southern Taiwan, two people died in flash flooding as Fanapi dumped more than 40 inches of rain in some places.
