2005-09-13

Typhoon KHANUN made landfall at China, and later weakened to transform into an extratropical cyclone. The damage in China is large - 14 people were killed and nine people are still missing. In recent years, it is reported that the damage of typhoons is becoming worse in China, and this may indicate that typhoons tend to keep strong intensity until just before reaching land, in the same sense as the repeated attacks of strong typhoons that we suffered in Japan last year.
