At least 15 people lost their lives across southern and central China as Typhoon Maysak swept through the region, displacing tens of thousands of residents while forecasters warned of further dangerous conditions, according to The New York Times.
In Nanning, Guangxi's provincial capital, flooding linked to the storm killed four people and triggered evacuations of nearly 62,000 residents. The city's deputy mayor said two reservoir failures in the Hengzhou prefecture had caused "severe loss of life and property." Rainfall that began Saturday morning and continued through Monday evening totaled close to three days' worth of precipitation, pushing rivers and reservoirs beyond their limits, according to The Times.
