By Sunday, Talim had dumped more than 400 millimetres of rain in the counties
of Yuexi, Huoshan and Jinzai in Anhui Province, with over 200 millimetres of
rain falling in many other areas.
In Jiangxi, rainstorms, flooding, landslides, mud-and-rock flows and a river
embankment breach claimed seven lives and left four others missing.
In the province more than 7,100 houses were destroyed, 210,000 hectares of
crops damaged and 3.1 million people in 24 cities and counties affected, causing
more than 1.7 billion yuan (US$220 million ) in direct economic
losses.
