A village in eastern China was slammed by a landslide caused by rainstorms yesterday as Typhoon Megi battered the region.
As of Thursday morning local time, 13 people have been rescued, 26 remain missing and one person has been confirmed dead after a sea of mud devoured Sucun, a village of 37 houses in Suichang county in Zhejiang province, according to People's Daily Online.
A separate landslide, also triggered by rainstorms, crashed into a nearby village, leaving six residents missing.
Destroyed: Roughly 400,000 cubic meters of debris slid down the mountains and buried 20 households, said an official.
