Tropical Storm Fengshen heads for China

"Tropical storm Fengshen surged toward Taiwan and southeast China on Wednesday after leaving a path of destruction in the Philippines where the search for more survivors from a capsized ferry has proved fruitless.




Fengshen was downgraded to a tropical storm late Tuesday. But it still managed to shut down much of Hong Kong. Schools, courts and even the financial markets were closed for part of Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.

In the Philippines, meanwhile, people struggled to recover from Fengshen's deadly impact as a typhoon when it hit the country last weekend.
Divers found bodies but so far no survivors inside the hull of the ferry that capsized in the typhoon, a Philippine Coast Guard official said Tuesday."

Re: Tropical Storm Fengshen heads for China

Tropical storm Fengshen continues to weaken on its way north and further inland. The storm brought heavy rains and strong winds to China's southern coast on Wednesday after tearing through the Philippines last weekend.

The storm made landfall at Shenzhen in Guangdong Province, with winds of up to 83 kilometers an hour.
The storm delayed over 120 flights and cancelled another 14 in Shenzhen and Hong Kong."

Re: Tropical Storm Fengshen heads for China

From what I've read it seemed it was referred to as Frank when it was a Typhoon and hit Phillipines then downgraded to Tropical Storrm Fengshen when it moved onto China.

(That's why I split the reports into two threads. )

Re: Tropical Storm Fengshen heads for China

No, same event just given 2 names. Fengshen by JMA and Frank by western agencies.
