The typhoon passed through Taiwan and reached Fujian province in southeastern China by 7am (6am Thailand time) on Sunday as a less severe tropical storm, officials said. Taiwan, meanwhile, is on alert again as a second tropical storm was due to make landfall Sunday night. The deadliest in Taiwan since 2000 was Typhoon Morakot, which set off landslides that left about 680 people dead in 2009.
