                Storm Leaves 1 Dead, 5 Missing in Southern China

   Chinese officials say Typhoon Utor killed at least one person and left
   five others missing in southern Guangdong Province before weakening to
   a tropical storm on Thursday.
   The storm made landfall Wednesday, bringing winds over 150 kilometers
   per hour and heavy rains that state media say caused torrential
   flooding and mountain torrents.
   Tens of thousands were evacuated ahead of the storm, which also forced
   the closure of some schools, offices and public transportation. Only
   minor damage was reported.
   Earlier Wednesday, authorities in Hong Kong canceled flights and closed
   the city`s main stock exchange because of the storm.
   The typhoon passed over the Philippines earlier this week, causing
   landslides and flooding that killed at least six people and left 30,000
   displaced.
