Sharjah24 - Reuters: Three people died in eastern China after strong winds toppled a shipyard crane, authorities said on Sunday, as storms caused damage across the country, including large swaths of farmland.
The deaths of security staff in the city of Wuhu occurred after the 450-tonne crane keeled over on Saturday into the security post where they were stationed, the authorities said.

In Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province in eastern China, large trees were felled on Saturday, crushing vehicles and blocking roads, local media reported.

"The solar water heater on the roof of my mother's house was blown down. Luckily it didn't hurt anyone," a Jiangsu resident wrote on China's Twitter-like Weibo social media platform.
