FLOODS and landslides due to heavy downpours brought by typhoon Fanapi have calmed 18 lives as of 11am today in Guangdong Province, while another 48 remain missing, local authorities said today.

Some areas in Guangdong reported precipitation of over 640 mm in 24 hours, and rain-triggered geological disasters have destroyed over 1,200 homes and forced the evacuation of 78,300 people across the province, according to the provincial flood control headquarters.
