By the CNN Wire Staff
October 22, 2010 -- Updated 1318 GMT (2118 HKT)



(CNN) -- Typhoon Megi advanced ﹝前進﹞in Asia [ˈeʃə] on Friday, triggering ﹝觸發,引起﹞
 rock slides that trapped ﹝使陷入困境﹞more than 400 people in automobiles in Taiwan, officials said.

A tour bus was stuck on a cliff, with the driver and a passenger suspected still trapped inside, according to the Coast Guard Administration of Taiwan. It was not immediately clear whether they were injured or dead. Another tour bus, with 19 people aboard, was missing.

Soldiers were deployed to rescue those trapped, including about 200 visitors from China, said Cai Min, a spokesman for Taiwan's National Disaster Prevention and Protection Commission. More than two dozen travelers had been rescued by late afternoon Friday, officials said.


Send your iReport videos, stories of extreme weather


The rock slides happened mainly along the Suhua Highway, in northeast Taiwan, Cai said.
No deaths or serious injuries were immediately reported, however.

Megi, which killed at least 11 people in the Philippines, is expected to reach southern China early Saturday, according to the Hong Kong Observatory.

As of late afternoon Friday, Megi was estimated at about 430 kilometers (267 miles) east of Hong Kong. Winds were estimated at 41 to 62 kilometers per hour (25 to 39 miles per hour).


On the streets of Hong Kong, there were still no signs of the typhoon, though.


"Although it is difficult to predict Megi's exact track, the public should stay alert and attend to their personal safety. They should stay away from the shoreline, avoid unnecessary outdoor activities and ensure drains are not blocked," acting Secretary for Security Lai Tung-kwok said.

As precautions, crews in Hong Kong were deployed to pile sandbags, inspect and trim trees and check drains. Temporary shelters were being opened, and myriad boats were moored.

Megi may be the strongest typhoon to hit China this year, the state-run Xinhua news agency has said.

In southern China, strong gales arrived ahead of Megi. Domestic and international flights have been cancelled, and ferry services have been suspended in Guangdong, Fujian and Hainan, state-run China Daily said.

In Guangdong, crews have fanned out to inspect reservoirs, dikes and water-conservation projects, in an effort to prevent storm-related injuries and deaths.

Nearly 130,000 fishing boats have been recalled in Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan provinces, and more than 150,000 people have fled for safety in Fujian, according to Xinhua.

Officials have issued the highest of four warnings, bracing for possible devastation in coastal areas, Xinhua said. The warning allows local officials six hours to evacuate residents, close schools and airports, and recall vessels that are considered at risk.
On Thursday in the Philippines, lawmakers placed the province of Pangasinan under a state of emergency, to help municipalities recover from Megi, which was known in the Philippines as Typhoon Juan.

The typhoon affected an estimated 258,844 Filipinos, leaving thousands homeless.

(CNN) -- Typhoon Megi hit China on Saturday, sending hundreds of thousands fleeing as it made landfall in the southeastern province of Fujian, state media reported.

About 270,000 people have been evacuated, Xinhua news agency said.

The 13th typhoon to hit China this year made landfall in Zhangzhou city. It forced the cancellation of ferry services and 79 flights in the coastal city of Xiamen, authorities said.

It is expected to lose strength as it heads inland, but will bring heavy rains to southeastern provinces.

Officials have issued the warnings as they brace for possible devastation in coastal areas, Xinhua said.

Meanwhile, the typhoon killed 11 people in Taiwan and left about 400 tourists stranded.

At least 200 of the tourists were from the Chinese mainland, Xinhua said.

In Taiwan, the typhoon was downgraded to a tropical storm after it made landfall in China.

At least 23 people on Chinese tour groups were listed as missing, Taiwan's official Central News Agency reported.

Rescuers were searching for the missing and providing food to other stranded tourists trapped on the mountainous region of northeastern Taiwan.

Heavy rains will ease in Taiwan on Saturday, according to the meteorological department.

The typhoon affected an estimated 258,844 Filipinos, leaving thousands homeless, when it hit the island earlier this week.
