Typhoon Dolphin, described as the biggest storm to hit China this year, swept through Okinawa and then moved toward China's east coast, forcing the evacuation of more than a million people. The storm brought heavy rain to eastern China on Monday and grounded hundreds of flights. Chinese authorities shut ports ahead of landfall and issued flood warnings, according to reports. In Okinawa, the storm injured people and cut power to thousands of buildings, though reports differed on the exact toll. One account said five people were injured and 14,000 buildings lost power, while another said six people were hurt and more than 50,000 buildings were affected. The storm weakened after leaving Okinawa but still caused widespread disruption as it approached the Chinese coast.
