Nearly 600,000 people were evacuated as Typhoon Talim ploughed into southern China today, packing winds of up to 114mph.Doubt that the US will see much coverage of this storm with Katrina's effects dominating the US news.
Talim hit land around 4pm local time (9am Irish time) in the coastal province of Fujian, and was moving north-west at about 14mph, the Hong Kong Observatory reported.
Fujian television showed waves up to 10 metres high crashing against breakwaters in the fishing village of Ningde, about 466 miles from the commercial hub of Shanghai.
Just an FYI.
