List Details Violations Across Several Locations

Typhoon Narra has triggered widespread flooding in southern China, submerging homes and forcing mass evacuations, as another storm system, Typhoon Saudel, tracks toward Japan and Taiwan. Authorities in Chongzuo, in China's Guangxi region — known for its giant waterfalls and karst limestone mountains — evacuated more than 15,000 people on Tuesday after water levels surpassed a record high set in 2008. State television said rising flood waters have prompted China to relocate a total of 54,000 people in Guangxi. Narra made landfall as a tropical storm on Tuesday evening in China's southern island province of Hainan after lingering over the Beibu Gulf for several days, dumping heavy rain on Guangxi, Hainan and Guangdong.

In Chongzuo, river water overflowed into the city, with water levels reaching the rooftops of some buildings and power lines. A notice from Chongzuo authorities on Monday ordered all businesses and tourist operations to cease and urged evacuated residents not to return to high-risk areas. Heavy rain is expected to persist across parts of Vietnam and southern China through Wednesday, with areas of Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan and Fujian forecast to receive torrential rain, state media said.

Meanwhile, medium-strength Typhoon Saudel moved toward southern Japan and northern Taiwan, where it is expected to bring sporadic heavy rain. Japan's weather agency warned of destructive winds and high seas as the storm approached the south-western islands of Okinawa prefecture. Saudel is expected to pass to the north of Taiwan starting late Thursday and into Friday, though its intensity is forecast to gradually weaken, the island's Central Weather Administration said, adding there is uncertainty about the timing and extent of the typhoon's rainfall impact.

In southern and eastern Taiwan, the government reported one person dead and four missing from a tropical depression that brought flooding in the cities of Tainan and Kaohsiung, home to more than 4 million people. During the three days from Sunday to Tuesday, almost a metre (3.9 feet) of rain fell in Kaohsiung, which the government said exceeded rainfall during 2009's devastating Typhoon Morakot that killed about 700 people and caused damage of up to $3bn. Saudel is forecast to hit the coast in the south-eastern Chinese province of Fujian from late Thursday to early Friday. Heavy rain is also expected in parts of Vietnam and southern China.
