Typhoon Linfa made landfall on Thursday in south China's Guangdong Province, where trains have been suspended, schools closed and thousands of fishing boats recalled to port. Linfa made landfall in Jiadong Township of Shanwei City at 12:15 p.m., packing winds of up to 35 meters per second, Xinhua quoted the provincial meteorological station as saying. It has weakened into a strong tropical storm and is moving westward. Downpours brought by the typhoon have flooded some regions in Shanwei and also cut electricity to about 370,000 households there and its neighboring city of Shantou.
