| TYPHOON DAMREY HITS SOUTH CHINA HEADS FOR VIETNAM |
|
| Typhoon Damrey slammed into southern China's resort island of Hainan early Monday, killing at least nine people. The storm, whose name means "elephant" in Cambodian, scoured the island's southern portion before heading out to sea toward Vietnam to the west. More than 200,000 people were being evacuated along the Vietnamese coast ahead of Damrey's expected arrival. Hotels in the Yalong Bay resort district were largely empty, with tourists who had not evacuated barricading themselves in their rooms. The Sheraton and Marriott resorts were operating on skeleton staff.
