Huge
tidal wave leaves over 30 injured in China after breaking through sea
wall
Onlookers
forced to flee as Typhoon Trami wreaks havoc with winds of up to
80mph causing a destructive wave in the eastern Zhejiang Province
26
January, 2013
A
huge tidal wave slammed into a sea wall injuring over 30 people in
eastern China.
Typhoon
Trami triggered a 60ft surge of water that smashed through coastal
defences devastating the coastline.
The
eastern Zhejiang Province was battered by heavy rain and winds of up
to 80mph yesterday.
But
as spectators gathered to record the damage, the nearby wall they
were using for cover was smashed by the crashing impact of the wave.
Soon
after, ambulances arrived to pick up the injured and transport them
to the nearest hospital.
The
typhoon also forced over 400,000 people to be evacuated from their
homes and it is estimated that it caused 405 million yuan (around
£40million) worth of damage.
Fire
spreads to California's Yosemite National Park
A
wildfire raging in Northern California burned into Yosemite National
Park on Friday (August 23), as the blaze threatened one of the
state's most popular tourist destinations and resisted firefighters'
efforts to control it.
The
so-called Rim Fire exploded in size to become the fastest-growing of
50 large wildfires burning in the U.S. West and had blackened 11,000
acres at the northeastern edge of Yosemite as of Friday.
