¡¡HANGZHOU, Aug. 6 (Xinhuanet) -- Typhoon Matsa has been wrecking havoc in east China after its landing at Zhejiang Province early Saturday morning.

    In Shanghai, all the flights have been suspended due to strong wind and airports in the city said they would monitor the movement of Matsa closely to make further decisions.

    A work shed collapsed in the rainstorms, leaving one worker dead and two injured at a construction site in Shanghai.

    Matsa, named after a Laotian fish, has been dumping torrential rain, swelling rivers and flooding the low-lying areas in east China's Zhejiang Province, the provincial meteorological observatory said.

    The coastal areas of Zhejiang have been slashed by torrential rain which winds up to 126 kph before and after the typhoon landing.

    The reservoirs and rivers in Taizhou, a city in Zhejiang, reported sharp water rise, and some areas along the coast reported water levels above the alarming lines, the provincial observatory said.

    In Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang, the street billboards have been either strengthened or temporarily picked off. All the construction sites have suspended operation. Residents living in the low-lying areas have been evacuated.

    Local residents have been warned to keep away from the Qiantang River as the typhoon could cause tidal waves in Hangzhou Bay.

    Matsa's fringe also slashed Jiangsu Province, bringing rainstorms to cities including Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi and Nantong.

    Landing of the typhoon occurred at Ganjiang Township in Yuhuan County in Zhejiang at 3:40 a.m Saturday. Enditem
