«Breaking News» Typhoon Mangkhut hits mainland China bringing torrential rains and 100mph winds

Typhoon Mangkhut has made landfall in south China's Guangdong province, bringing torrential rains and winds of 100mph to follow the devastation it has caused in the Philippines and Hong Kong. 

The world's biggest storm this year reached China after rocking Hong Kong earlier on Sunday, injuring more than 100 people and leaving skyscrapers swaying in the fierce winds. 

This morning waters surged in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour and coastal fishing villages, from which hundreds of residents were evacuated to storm shelters.

Some roads were waist-deep in water with parts of the city cut off by floods and fallen trees, while in the fishing village of Tai O, where many residents live in stilt houses built over the sea, some desperately tried to bail out their inundated homes. 

Police in the Philippines say at least 40 people, mostly gold miners, are feared trapped in a landslide in the north of the country, after 30 were killed on Saturday.

Preparations were in high gear on China's southern coast, including in Yangjiang, which is not often hit by major typhoons and where the city's 2.4 million people were bracing for a direct hit.  

In the neighbouring gambling enclave of Macau, all 42 casinos shut Saturday night and businesses were shuttered Sunday morning, some boarded up and protected by piles of sandbags.

As the storm moved south past Macau, its streets became submerged under water gushing from the harbour.

Rescue workers navigated the roads on jetskis, rescuing residents trapped in their shops. 

At least 30 people were killed in the Philippines when the storm smashed into the north of Luzon, the country's main island, on Saturday, as winds tore trees from the ground and rain unleashed dozens of landslides. 

Farms across northern Luzon, which produces much of the nation's rice and corn, were sitting under muddy floodwater, their crops ruined just a month before harvest.

Nearly five million people live in the storm's path. 

'We're already poor and then this happened to us. We have lost hope,' 40-year-old Mary Anne Baril, whose corn and rice crops were spoilt, told AFP.

'We have no other means to survive,' she said. 

Among the hundreds of buildings destroyed, an elementary school was missing most of its green roof, the bare bones of its rafters now exposed to the elements. The stacked students' chairs were visible from above.

Authorities said they would offer aid to farmers while planning to airlift vegetables, fruit, poultry and fish from the southern island of Mindanao to augment the food supply in the north.

Damage to schools alone would cost 106 million pesos ($1.9 million, or £1.5million), officials said, while officials had yet to fully count the cost of flooded crops.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
