Morakot becomes a savage killer

Singapore News.Net
Tuesday 11th August, 2009

A remote mountain village in Taiwan has been engulfed by a mudslide, leaving at least 600 people missing.

The mudslide, due to weather created by Typhoon Morakot, occurred when heavy rain and storms inflicted the worst flooding the island has seen in at least 50 years.

In the village of Shaio Lin, which was partially buried by the mudslide, rescuers are still searching for buried people.

After crossing the Taiwan Strait, Typhoon Morakot hit China where it toppled seven apartment buildings and submerged large swathes of land.

Authorities evacuated 1.4 million people, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.

At least six people were reported dead in China.
