At least two people have been killed and thousands forced to evacuate by #floods brought by Tropical Storm Haikui in #Chinas southeastern coastal Fujian province, local authorities reported Wednesday.
Schools were closed and flights suspended, while more than 30,000 people were moved to safety. Two firefighters died and one police officer is missing after floodwaters carried away a fire engine on a rescue mission, the Fuzhou fire department said.
