                    Typhoon Fitow Kills Six in Eastern China

   Chinese state media say at least six people were killed and several
   others remain missing after Typhoon Fitow slammed into a southeastern
   region.
   The powerful storm made landfall in Fujian Province Monday, packing
   winds of up to 150 kilometers per hour. Much of the surrounding area
   still was submerged in floodwaters Tuesday.
   The storm has since weakened, but torrential rains continued in nearby
   Zhejiang province, prompting the government`s highest emergency flood
   response.
   The Xinhua news agency says over 4,000 homes collapsed in the storm.
   Many areas were also without power, as well as rail and air
   transportation.
   Fitow is named after a flower from Micronesia. The typhoon is the 23rd
   to hit China this year.
