"Typhoon Saola wreaks havoc on China's coast, forcing closure of casinos and grounding flights"

Super Typhoon Saola made landfall on China's Guangdong coast after causing destruction and flooding in Hong Kong. The typhoon, with winds of over 200 km/h, forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights and the evacuation of 900,000 people in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. Although Saola weakened after passing Hong Kong, it still caused damage and authorities warned of strong winds and rains. One person was killed in Shenzhen when a tree fell on their vehicle. Hong Kong imposed its highest hurricane storm signal, and Macau's casinos reopened after a temporary closure. Another typhoon, Haikui, is forecasted to hit Taiwan's southeastern coast.
