In China they evacuated 140,000 people from a coastal province before the typhoon hit. Megi could possibly hit Vietnam, where flooding has already caused 30 deaths in recent days, in addition to those missing are thought to be dead after their bus was washed off a road by the currents on monday. Megi had winds of 140 mph and gusts of 162 mph as it made landfall midday Monday at Palanan Bay in Isabela province it caused  trees to fall and utility poles cutting off power, phone and Internet services in many areas.
