Macau residents queue for water from a fire hydrant yesterday Authentic Kendall Lamm Jersey , a day after Typhoon Hato struck. The death toll has risen to 17 following the storm’s trail of destruction across south China. — AFP
THE death toll from Typhoon Hato rose to at least 17 yesterday after the storm left a trail of destruction across south China, having earlier blacked out Macau’s mega-casinos and battered Hong Kong’s skyscrapers.


Eight people died in the gambling hub of Macau, where images showed cars underwater and people swimming along streets. The city’s famed mega-casinos were running on backup generators.


Macau’s leader made a public apology after his government came under fire for its delayed storm warning, while the head of the weather bureau resigned.


A man was killed by a wall that was blown down, another fell from a fourth-floor terrace and one was hit by a truck.


The Macau government said that two bodies were found in a flooded car park early yesterday and that two more died when they were trapped in the basement of their shop. Details of the remaining death were not immediately available.


Blacked-out slot machines were seen at the largely empty Wynn Macau casino where there was no air conditioning and a musty atmosphere.


However Authentic Ka'imi Fairbairn Jersey , a few dozen gamblers ignored the heat to try their luck at four baccarat tables.


A staff member at the sprawling Venetian resort said its casino and shops were open, but there was no air conditioning.


At the Grand Lisboa Hotel in central Macau, an employee said that it was still without electricity and water yesterday and that its casino and restaurants were closed.


The city’s gambling industry generated over 220 billion patacas (US$27.29 billion) in revenue last year, over half its annual GDP, as it hosted more than 30 million visitors.


Macau’s leader Fernando Chui and other government ministers bowed their heads during a minute’s silence at a press conference last night.


“These two days Authentic Kendall Langford Jersey , we have faced an extremely difficult test together. Hato is the strongest typhoon in 53 years and has brought tremendous damage to Macau,” Chui said.


“In facing this disaster, we admit we have not done enough, there is space for improvement. Here I represent the Macau government in expressing our apologies to the residents,” he said Authentic Lamarr Houston Jersey , adding that the city’s weather bureau chief had resigned.


Debris lay scattered on roads and a shipping container was washed up in front of a temple after Wednesday’s storm.


Streets were lined with trash and shattered glass, and residents holding plastic buckets queued for water from fire hydrants.


“We’ve been going without water and electricity for more than 24 hours. It’s so hot,” May Lee told reporters, adding that there was not even water for flushing the toilet.


In Hong Kong, Hato sparked the most severe Typhoon 10 warning Authentic Jeremy Lane Jersey , only the third time a storm of this power has pounded the financial hub in the past 20 years.


More than 120 people were injured as the city was lashed with hurricane winds and pounding rain.


In the neighboring southern province of Guangdong, at least eight people died, China Central Television reported, while around 27,000 were evacuated to temporary shelters. Nearly 2 million households were briefly without power.


CCTV said four of the deaths were in Zhuhai Authentic Benardrick McKinney Jersey , three in Zhongshan and one in Jiangmen.


Train services between Guangzhou, the provincial capital, and the city of Shenzhen had resumed at 4pm on Wednesday, and more trains linking Guangzhou and other cities in Guangdong were operating yesterday, according to Guangzhou Railway Group.


Ferry services resumed on Wednesday night on the Qiongzhou Strait Authentic Kevin Johnson Jersey , a major gateway to the island province of Hainan.


More than 2.7 million Guangdong households had their electricity supplies disrupted, but three quarters now have power back, according to China Southern Power Grid.


Three coastal nuclear power stations were unaffected.


Hato was forecast to move west at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour and weaken into a tropical depression by yesterday afternoon, according to the National Meteorological Center.


It also brought downpours in several parts of southwest China’s Yunnan Province on Wednesday. As a result of the typhoon, floods in Yunnan left one person dead and two injured Authentic Nick Martin Jersey , local authorities said.


The provincial weather bureau forecast said rainstorms would continue to batter western, central and southern parts of the province today.


In neighboring Sichuan Province, forecasters predicted rainstorms in southern areas today.



If China's sporting year in 2014 was all about the individual, then this time around it was all about the team. There was no Li Na and no return for Liu Xiang, Ding Junhui started losing the plot and his ability to pot Authentic Will Fuller V Jersey , risking his place at the Snooker World Championships, and Lin Dan started to look -mortal, ranking below compatriot Chen Long for much of 2015.





These are the 5 events that took the headlines and defined the year in Chinese sports.





Beijing wins 2022 bid





Beijing was announced as the host city of the 2022 Winter Olympics and in beating Alamty of Kazakhstan it became the first city to host both the Summer and Winter games since they split in 1992. There were question marks over the bidding process as Western nations pulled out amid fears of going over budget and concerns over pollution and a reliance on artificial snow for the winning bid. Beijing has the benefit of having a track record at ably coping with the Olympics and have said that they will use the event as an opportunity to tackle the city's air pollution issue. An existing infrastructure proved too good to turn down for the IOC, who opted for Beijing's bid that plans to leave a legacy of skiing tourism in the neighboring city of Zhangjiakjou in Hebei Province.CFA sees .
