Typhoon hits Guangdong ProvinceA typhoon lashed southern China on Thursday with strong winds and heavy rain, killing two people. The typhoon hit the coastal areas of Guangdong Province at 1 ：45 p. m. on Thursday, with wind speeds up to 126 kilometers per hour. It came as the nation was still fighting its worst flooding in 10 years, which is expected to continue as the typhoon season gains pace.The Guangdong provincial flood-control headquarter said that the typhoon had caused economic losses of more than two billion yuan in the province, damaging more than 2,000 houses and thousands of vehicles.The strong winds, up to 35 meters a second, blew down many trees and billboards in the urban areas, paralyzing（使瘫痪）local traffic. Electricity, telecommunications and water services were cut in some areas. A local resident said he saw the raincoats of many pedestrians lifted by the gale（大风）,while many umbrellas were blown away. Two people were killed by the stomi in the western part of the province.Before this typhoon, the province had already been plagued by torrential rain （暴雨）and subsequent flooding, which has killed hundreds of people over the past several weeks and caused dozens of rivers and lakes across the region to reach clanger levels.Meteorologists （气象学家）forecast that six to eight major typhoons are expected in the coming months and told people to avoid unnecessary trips outdoors until the all-clear is given.In order to prepare for the typhoons, the government issued emergency notices to its subordinate（下属的）departments, urging them to take effective measures to protect people's lives and try to keep economic losses to a minimum. Priorities have been given to protect agriculture, reservoirs, dams, and coastal and river dikes in the flood-hit cities. More than 30,000 boats were required to return to ports to avoid the disaster while over 7,000 fishennen were evacuated（疏散）to safety areas. At least 26 flights have been canceled at the airport. The airports promised to make appropriate arrangements and care for those stranded（滞留）passengers. They might take trains or the coaches to their destinations.9.Meteorological departments issued emergency notices to take effective measures to protect people's lives and try to keep economic losses to a minimum.

Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans.In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water.
