At Least 70 Missing After Typhoon Wutip

Chinese state media is reporting at least 70 people are missing following Typhoon Wutip.

The storm caused at least three fishing boats to sink into the South China Sea and multiple other boats are missing. At least 14 people have been found through rescue efforts by the Chinese military.

The storm then roared into Vietnam causing damage to more than 1,000 homes. The storm uprooted tress and cut power lines throughout the country. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated before the storm in hopes of keeping the death toll down.

Typhoon Wutip is the strongest to hit Vietnam this year. Officials confirm three deaths and at least 26 injuries with the toll expected to rise.
