Typhoon Kills 38 Before Weakening
Thirty-eight people were confirmed dead and officials dispatched teams to assess damage estimated at more than $240 million after Typhoon Dujuan lashed coastal southern China, state media said.
Highways, power and communications lines, water supplies, homes and crops were damaged by the storm in the Pearl River Delta, the New China News Agency said.
In the city of Shenzhen, the hardest-hit area, 20 people were killed and 98 were injured. Dujuan weakened to a tropical storm and faded into the neighboring province of Guangxi.
