Typhoon Megi: Search for missing after China landslides



At least 33 people are missing in China's eastern Zhejiang province after heavy rains triggered two landslides, state media said.



Twenty seven of those are from Sucun village in Suichang county where homes were swept away.

A video on state media Xinhua showed a mass of debris sliding down the mountain.

The heavy rains came with Typhoon Megi, which hit China on Wednesday.

Local media also reported six people missing in Baofeng village in Wencheng county, where another landslide hit.
