Morakot has also caused havoc in Fujian.

A cargo ship was stranded amid strong winds and rescuers were trying to rescue its eight sailors. The ship, Daqing 254, lost control at about 2:30 am Sunday as it was attempting to take shelter from the wind.

The vessel, with a capacity of more than 30,000 tonnes, has been blown on to a reef area on Qingshan Island near Ningde City.

Li Saixi, a native of Qiyu Village in Luoyuan County, was busy pumping water out of his basement following a downpour Saturday night.

"The rain gushed into my house at midnight and the water level had reached to my thigh about 2 a.m.", he said.

Owners of many coastal aquafarms were securing production facilities as strong winds pushed up high waves.

The supply of vegetables and seafoods to outdoor markets of agricultural products in Lianjiang County has been severely cut, and workers are clearing streets after strong winds scattered trash.

Shanghai, directly north of Zhejiang, has released stored water from inland rivers to reduce levels by up to 40 cm in preparation for the typhoon's arrival, the municipal flood control headquarters said Sunday.

Water conservation and disaster-control authorities of Anhui Province were dispatching working teams to reinforce preventative measures in disaster-prone areas before the typhoon arrives.
