China's typhoon death toll rises to 50

Typhoon Longwang killed at least 50 people in China with dozens still missing today, including 59 members of a paramilitary police brigade swept away by raging floodwaters.

The typhoon slammed into south-eastern China late on Sunday with winds of 74 mph. It was downgraded Monday to a tropical storm, but not before raining havoc on low-lying coastal areas.
