Megi has slammed in to Taiwan leaving 4 dead and 160 injured. The storm has brought damage across most of the island blocking roads, knocking out power and shutting off power supplies.
Today South Eastern China including Guangdong and Fujian will also see a flood threat much like we seen with Nepartak and Meranti. Unlike Meranti which weakened and turned north, Megi will take a more westerly track lingering in the region while weakening and thus dropping most of its potential rainfall over the area increasing the threat of floods.
