Typhoon Saomai
China experienced another horrendous typhoon in 2006. Typhoon Saomai claimed over 300 people in the southern city of Fuding. That’s not all, after the storm, rescuers found another 24 bodies, with over 94 people missing, presumed dead. It was the strongest typhoon in China in five years. This was an extremely destructive typhoon, with catastrophic results, as we’ve seen. Sometimes, there’s nothing you can do except ride out the storm. It’s especially horrific when cities without proper infrastructure are hit (NBC News).
