Residents in southern China and Taiwan spent Thursday clearing debris after Typhoon Ragasa tore through the region, toppling trees, flattening fences and ripping signs from buildings.
Ragasa churned into Guangdong, home to tens of millions of people, with winds up to 145 kph (90 mph), on Wednesday after sweeping past Hong Kong and killing at least 14 in Taiwan.
AFP journalists at the impact point around the city of Yangjiang on Thursday saw fallen trees, while road signs and debris were strewn across the streets.
A light rain and breeze still lingered as residents worked to clean up the damage, however, authorities have not reported any storm-related fatalities.
On Hailing – an island administered by Yangjiang – relief workers attempted to clear a huge tree that had fallen across a wide road.
