The experts considered Morakot might have a big influence in the eastern part of Guangdong, and soak the province in torrential rains. The eighth tropical storm this year, Morakot was formed on the heels of Goni, which unleashed downpours in Guangdong destroying 732 houses. "The two storms could influence each other," said Wang Zhenming, vice head of the Zhejiang provincial meteorological station. "As a result, the route of Morakot is not fully predictable." He warned Morakot was likely to continue growing in strength and become a super typhoon. China is frequently affected by tropical storms in summer. The most destructive one recently occurred in 2006, when super typhoon Saomai claimed more than 400 lives. |
