GUANGZHOU: Torrential rain from tropical storm Fengshen has killed 16 people in Guangdong province, up from nine on Friday, local authorities said yesterday.

Another nine have gone missing since the downpours began, a provincial flood control headquarters spokesman has said.

Fengshen, which means "God of Wind" in Chinese, lashed most parts of Guangdong with rain, causing rivers to swell after landing in Shenzhen early on Wednesday.
