| Typhoon Imbudo Lashes South China Coast |
| 2003-07-24 |
| One of the most powerful typhoons in years ripped into southern China Thursday after killing at least 10 people in the Philippines and injuring dozens more. Winds of up to 115 mph pounded the southern Chinese province of Guangdong as Typhoon Imbudo made landfall at noon near the city of Yangjiang, about 190 miles southwest of Hong Kong. The storm was moving northwest at about 28 kph. "The wind was strongest when it hit land, as strong as gale force 12," said an official at the Guangdong provincial weather bureau. "The rain is quite heavy." As they move inland and breakup, typhoons and hurricanes dump one hell of a lot of rain. This on top of the current floods. Hey, how’s that dam holding up? |
