More than a million people have been evacuated from their homes and at least 18 people have been killed as Typhoon Lekima struck China.
Another fourteen people were also missing after a landslide was triggered by the storm.
Hundreds of ferries and train services were shut down as Lekima hit the coast south of Shanghai in the early hours of Saturday – more than 3,000 flights have been cancelled.
The storm was initially categorised as a “super typhoon” earlier in the week but weakened before it made landfall in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang.
The typhoon, which had winds of 116mph, has caused over 200 homes to collapse and damaged another 3,200.
