China to Evacuate Hundreds of Thousands as Twin Typhoons Approach
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In China, authorities are set to evacuate a half-million people as a
pair of typhoons bear down on the country's heavily populated east
coast. Taiwan canceled flights Wednesday and issued a warning to ships
as Typhoon Talim threatened the island ahead of an expected landfall
late Thursday on China's northern coast as a strong typhoon. To the
south, Typhoon Doksuri threatens China's southeast and Vietnam, as it
strengthens over the South China Sea. Earlier this week, the storm
brought flooding to the Philippines capital Manila and surrounding
provinces.
