The reminance of Typhoon Sarika is once-again making landfall in China.

This time, the storm - now a tropical depression - has hit landfall along the coast of Guangxi after unexpectedly turning away from northern Vietnam earlier in the day.

Sarika is only packing winds of less than 60-kilometers per hour, and is due to burn out this evening.

The once-powerful typhoon hit Hainan early Tuesday with winds of around 120-kilometers per hour, forcing thousands to move inland from Hainan's coastal areas.

Repair crews are now assessing the flood damage left-behind in Hainan's provincial capital, Haikou.

"We have to wait from time to time to carry out drainage operations, as rain sometimes forces us to stop. But even when we're not draining, we're still monitoring the flooding every couple of hours."

Sarika also forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights in and out of Hainan, and also suspended rail services on parts of the island.

So far there have been no reports of any casualties because of Sarika.

The storm, which plowed through the northern Philippines over the weekend, is responsible for at least 2-deaths.

Also in Asia, an extremely powerful tropical storm is beginning to bare down on the northern Philippines.

"Haima" has moved up to a Category 5 typhoon, with winds exceeding 250-kilometers per hour.

The front edge of the storm has already hit the northern Philippine island of Luzon.

It's going to continue rolling into the highly-populated region with Category 5 power, and is due to make landfall around midnight.

"Haima" is due to rip through central Luzon over the following 12-hours before rolling into the South China Sea.

While the storm will have lost power, current models suggest "Haima" will then veer north toward Guangdong in the following two days.

It's expected to hit the mainland somewhere between Hong Kong and Shantou sometime Friday.
