Typhoon Saomai, one of three storms to have hit East Asia in the past few days, has already dumped heavy rain on Taiwan and was hours from an expected landfall between Hong Kong and Shanghai, just south of the booming city of Wenzhou. Storm tracker Tropical Storm Risk (www.tropicalstormrisk.com) graded Saomai a category five "super" typhoon - its highest category - and put its position at 26 degrees Latitude and 123.7 degrees Longitude at 0219 GMT. Chinese state television said it was the strongest typhoon to threaten China in 50 years. "Some meteorologists said that the typhoon might grow stronger," China's Xinhua news agency said, adding that it could be fueled by remnants of the weakening and west-headed tropical storm Bopha. The center of Saomai, which means "Morning Star" in Vietnamese, was 220 km (130 miles) southeast of Wenzhou at 0100 GMT, and was moving northwest at about 25 km (16 miles) per hour, the city's weather bureau said on its Web site (www.wz121.com). Much of south China has been repeatedly battered by typhoons and tropical storms this year, with hundreds of people killed by rainstorms, mudslides and floods. Tropical storm Bilis killed more than 600 last month and typhoon Prapiroon killed about 80 last week. Peace Ross
