Super typhoon Meranti whips up wind speeds in the Pacific to 180mph.
Chinese state media reported one death and one person missing, as high winds and rain shattered windows on tall buildings, knocked down trees and disrupted water supplies in China’s Fujian province, causing a widespread blackout in the coastal city of Xiamen.
In Taiwan, the Central News Agency reported one person was killed and 44 were injured on the island by the storm.
It said Meranti knocked out power in almost 1 million homes and water in more than 700,000.
