Watch their actions not what they say. =============================================== ------------------------------Saola looked tame ------------------------ Thank goodness---------------------- Typhoon Saola makes landfall on China’s coast after slamming Hong Kong Super Typhoon Saola weakens after making landfall on southern China’s Guangdong coast after pummelling Hong Kong.

Hong Kong and China’s neighbouring provinces cancelled hundreds of flights on Friday and shut businesses and schools as the super typhoon – packing winds of more than 200 kilometres per hour (125 miles per hour) – edged closer, forcing some 900,000 people to leave areas at risk in Guangdong and Fujian provinces.

Despite weakening, Saola will continue to affect the region, Chinese authorities said, due to strong winds and rains. Local media in Shenzen reported that Saola had moved away from the city on Saturday morning and warnings were downgraded from a red typhoon to a yellow rainstorm alert.

Haikui, a typhoon not as strong as Saola, is now forecast to make landfall on Taiwan’s far southeastern coast late on Sunday afternoon and bring heavy rain across the island into next week. Taiwan’s two main domestic airlines cancelled all flights for Sunday, and the government has warned people to stay away from beaches and mountain areas. SOURCE: NEWS AGENCIES
