                    Typhoon Kalmaegi Makes Landfall in China

   by VOA News

   A powerful typhoon is bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall to
   southern China, prompting flight disruptions and evacuations.

   Typhoon Kalmaegi made landfall early Tuesday on the island of Hainan,
   China's southernmost province. The official Xinhua news agency says at
   least 170 flights were canceled. In Lingao County, Xinhua reported,
   4,300 ships have been brought back to shore and over 19,000 people have
   been evacuated.

   Earlier, the typhoon passed just south of Hong Kong, packing wind gusts
   of up to 125 kilometers per hour. The storm delayed at least 500
   flights at Hong Kong's airport and forced the Hong Kong stock exchange
   to cancel morning trading. Many schools and businesses also remain
   closed.

   Kalmaegi swept through the Philippines on Sunday, causing landslides
   and flooding in some rural areas.
