               At Least 25 Killed as Typhoon Usagi Strikes China

   Chinese state media say 25 people have been killed by Typhoon Usagi,
   which struck southern Guangdong province late Sunday.
   The storm made landfall with winds of 165 kilometers an hour after
   passing over Hong Kong, wreaking havoc on transportation services
   across the region throughout the day. More than 300 flights in and out
   of Hong Kong were cancelled, leaving tens of thousands of passengers
   stranded.
   Ferry and high-speed rail services throughout the region were also shut
   down, and thousands of fishing boats were ordered to return to port.
   Usagi is the most powerful typhoon of 2013, having been classified a
   super typhoon as it blew through the Luzon Strait over the Philippines
   and Taiwan, triggering massive flooding and landslides. The storm
   killed two people in the northern Philippines and injured nine in
   Taiwan.
