Typhoon Megi churned into southern China on Wednesday after leaving four dead in Taiwan and knocking out power to millions.
At least 523 people were reported injured in Taiwan, the island’s emergency operation center said, as the storm blew people off their feet and produced seven-meter (23-foot) waves, images on Cti Television showed. About 14,000 people were evacuated, according to the center.
