A major typhoon in eastern China has triggered a landslide and killed at least 30 people with 18 others missing, Reuters reported Sunday, citing state media.
The big picture: Typhoon Lekima made landfall in Wenling, between Taiwan and China's financial capital Shanghai, early Saturday, per the BBC, which reports authorities saying torrential rains have forced more than 1 million people to evacuate. Here's the impact of the storm, in photos.
