About The Gallery
At least 18 people were killed and 14 others missing as Typhoon Lekima lashed eastern China, downing thousands of trees and forcing more than a million people from their homes. The deaths were caused by a landslide triggered by the storm's downpours in the municipality of Wenzhou, around 400 kilometres (250 miles) south of Shanghai. China issued a red alert as the storm approached on Friday, before downgrading the level to orange as winds eased on Saturday morning.
