CHINA'S southernmost province of Hainan is recovering today after Typhoon Conson slammed into the island last night, with workers fixing damaged facilities and draining streets of flood waters as airports in Sanya and Haikou reopen.
Conson made landfall at 7:50pm yesterday, packing winds of up to 126 km per hour and heavy rains. It uprooted trees, destroyed billboards and light poles, and cut power supplies in some areas of the island.
At least two people were killed by billboard collapses, including a security guard and a cyclist.
Conson weakened into a tropical storm at 2am today, the weather bureau in Sanya said, adding that it entered Beibu Bay in the South China Sea at 5am.
Maintenance workers in Sanya today repaired wires and cables, restored toppled poles and cleared roads of uprooted trees.
As of midday, workers were still draining flood waters from downtown Sanya streets.
Authorities at Sanya's Fenghuang Airport said a flight from Bangkok had landed safely at 9am. The airport is expecting 210 takeoffs and landings today. Meilan Airport in Haikou, the provincial capital, also resumed operations today.
