SHANGHAI (AP) — Tropical storm Fengshen lashed southern China on Wednesday with heavy rains and strong winds, bringing new misery to a region already struggling to recover from this month's deadly floods.

Fengshen, which killed hundreds in the Philippines as a typhoon, made landfall Wednesday morning with winds of up to 51 miles per hour in the economic zone of Shenzhen, whose meteorological station forecast heavy rains of up to nearly 8 inches Wednesday and Thursday, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

In Hong Kong, the storm injured at least 17 people and flooded 38 areas across the city, the government said in a statement.

One crewman was missing and another was injured after they fell into the sea from a container ship that was making an emergency stop off Guangdong to wait out the storm, Xinhua reported. The missing crewman reportedly had no life jacket, it said.

More than 13,000 ships in Guangdong returned to harbor before the storm hit, Xinhua said.

The storm's heavy rains also affected the provinces of Fujian, Guangxi, Jiangxi and Hunan, Xinhua reported the China Central Meteorological Station as saying.

Fengshen left more than 800 passengers and crew missing in the Philippines this week after the typhoon capsized a ferry. Only four dozen survivors have been found. The storm's toll on shore in the Philippines included 227 dead and 275 missing in the worst-hit region, with dozens reported killed elsewhere by floods and landslides.
