                           Typhoon Soulik Downgraded

   Chinese forecasters have downgraded a powerful typhoon to a tropical
   depression after it made landfall in the heavily populated Chinese
   coastal province of Fujian Saturday
   Typhoon Soulik forced the evacuation of 300,000 people when it hit
   southeast China, with winds of nearly 120 kilometers per hour.
   The National Meteorological Center downgraded the storm to a tropical
   depression Sunday as it weakened overland, but warned that it would
   still dump heavy amounts of rain on the eastern parts of China.
   The typhoon had slowed since it made landfall on Taiwan`s northeastern
   coast early Saturday, killing two people and injuring more than 100
   others.
   Recent torrential rains across large parts of China have left 200
   people dead or missing.
