Soudelor drenches China, downgraded to tropical storm


Emergency rescue personnel dig a man from a mudslide caused by Typhoon Soudelor in Xindian, New Taipei City, Taiwan, on Saturday, August 8. Soudelor made landfall in Taiwan early Saturday. Forecasters had predicted the storm would have maximum sustained winds at landfall of about 125 mph (200 kph) -- the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane.
Typhoon Soudelor pounded Taiwan with fierce winds and torrential rain Saturday, killing five people before barreling on to China as a tropical storm.
About 185 people were injured and five others remain missing, according to Taiwan's National Fire Agency.
Those killed included a mother and her 8-year-old daughter swept out to sea, the nation's Central News Agency reported, adding that the girl's twin sister is unaccounted for.
