Rescue workers in eastern China searched for more victims while residents cleaned up on Saturday after one of the worst typhoons to hit the region in seven years killed 115 people and injured more than 1,800.
Residents in the storm-battered eastern province of Zhejiang woke up to power outages, uprooted trees and collapsed houses after Typhoon Rananim cut a swathe of destruction with torrential rain and gale-force winds.
"The power supply has still not yet resumed in all parts of the city. It's hot and humid outside, with no more rain," a nurse surnamed Li at the Taizhou city Central Hospital told Reuters by telephone.
The storm had weakened and moved inland to the province of Jiangxi, but the death toll is expected to rise, officials had said.
The typhoon hit the Zhejiang coast late on Thursday, leaving 16 people missing, causing widespread damage in the rice-growing province and knocking down more than 40,000 buildings, officials had said.
As many as 1,800 people had been injured, including 185 who were seriously hurt, officials said. More than 8.6 million people had been affected by the storm, they said.
Officials had evacuated more than 460,000 people from coastal areas of Zhejiang province to escape the storm.
