After swamping Philippines and killing at least 34, Typhoon Nesat hits southern China
HONG KONG - A powerful typhoon slammed into southern China on Thursday after skirting Hong Kong and bringing death and widespread flooding to the Philippines earlier this week.
Typhoon Nesat made landfall on the eastern tip of China's Hainan island at 2:30 p.m. and was packing winds as high as 94 miles an hour, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The storm blew down trees and flooded streets as it moved across Hainan, photos on state media showed. A large tree toppled onto a parked car in the provincial capital, Haikou.
Flood control officials said nearly 58,000 people were evacuated
