Typhoon Ragasa has been a devastating force, initially causing 17 deaths in Taiwan, later revised to 14 due to double counting. The storm's impact was particularly severe in Hualien County, where heavy rains led to flooding and casualties. The search for missing persons continues, with the number reduced from 152 to 33. In mainland China, Ragasa made landfall in Guangdong province, causing significant damage but no reported fatalities. Cleanup efforts are ongoing, with local authorities mobilizing resources to assist affected areas. The storm's winds have weakened, but it remains a rain threat for Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Taiwanese officials are investigating the circumstances of the deaths and have pledged financial support for relief efforts.
