Typhoon Trami has brought rainstorms and caused havoc 1 in east China after making landfall in Fujian.
At the same time, the northeast is continuing to see some of it's worst flooding in decades.
We get more from CRI's Jordan Lee.
The latest Typhoon to hit China is now rolling its way into Jiangxi.
Trami, which hit coastal 2 Fujian on Thursday morning, has been downgraded to a tropical storm as it makes its way further inland.
Local authorities in Fujian have evacuated 3 some 400-thousand people.
So far no casualties have been reported.
Officials in Fujian did take significant precautions ahead of the storm, particularly in the wake of the damage caused by Typhoon Utor.
Utor hit southern China last week, leaving 70 dead and 18-others listed as missing.
Over in the northeast, a dyke 4 burst along the Heilongjiang River, forcing an evacuation early Thursday morning.
A 20-meter section of the dyke broke free along the community of Chaibaotun, forcing around 7-thousand people to flee to safety.
No casualties have been reported.
The flooding has already wiped out around 85-hundred homes in the province.
Local authorities say the Heilongjiang River itself is going to continue to rise, and is putting some 140 villages along its shores at risk.
The river which divides China and Russia has seen its highest water levels ever recorded.
Chinese Premier 5 Li Keqiang and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev have taken time to discuss how to deal with the flooding.
Li Keqiang is calling on the Russian side to use the upstream reservoir to chop the flood peak and scale down the floods.
