A landslide triggered by torrential rain from Typhoon Saudel struck Gaoping in Jiangxi province, southeastern China, early Saturday, killing one person and leaving 11 missing. Two people were rescued alive, while about a dozen homes were damaged, including several that were destroyed. Emergency crews are searching the debris, moving residents to safer areas and working to prevent further incidents. The storm also caused severe flooding in neighboring Fujian province, where more than 100 homes collapsed and roughly 600,000 people were evacuated from high-risk areas.

Hope the rescue teams can work fast, every hour matters when people are trapped under debris like that.
This is a reminder that typhoon damage doesn't stop at the coast, heavy inland rain can trigger disasters just as deadly.
Praying for the families still waiting on news of those missing. Landslides like this are so sudden and terrifying.
