Typhoon Fitow Leaves Five Dead

Luke 21:25,26 NLT “And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.”

Chinese media is reporting at least five dead and four confirmed missing in the wake of Typhoon Fitow.

The tropical cyclone struck early Monday with sustained winds of more than 93 m.p.h. Officials said homes were flattened and many villages were completely flooded by the massive rainfall.

More than 4.5 million people were impacted by the floodwater.

Officials in the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces say economic losses have already reached $3.4 billion dollars.

State media said shrimp farms and seaweed farms were destroyed by the storm.

“We have basically lost everything this year,” a seaweed farmer told the BBC.
