early Tuesday, leaving five crew members missing, local authorities said, as the second tropical storm in recent days hit the mainland.
Haikui weakened to a tropical storm as it scraped along the coastline of Fujian and Guangdong provinces Tuesday morning, bringing up to 600 millimeters of rainfall to some areas as it moves inland, according to China’s meteorological agency. The fire truck swept into a river in Fujian's Yongtai county had been carrying nine crew members. Rescuers were “doing all they can” to find the five still unaccounted for, according to the county emergency response headquarters, as cited by online news site The Paper.
