Banana plants are destroyed in the fierce rainstorm brought by Typhoon Hagupit in Zhanjiang, South China's Guangdong Province, September 24, 2008. Six people were confirmed dead in the Typhoon Hagupit, the worst storm to hit Guangdong in more than a decade, which forced the closure of schools, halted flights and left many urban streets deserted after making landfall in Guangdong Province early on Wednesday.
