was reduced to a 54-stroke play due to the Typhoon. With a fear that the typhoon would destroy the crops, farmers hurriedly harvested all their crops and sold them in a wholesale. This caused the fruits and vegetable prices to run down by 15% on September 19. 2,155 tons of Vegetables were sold at Tapei City Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market on that day. However, the prices of some premium Vegetables remained stable. Landslide warnings were issued against 61 rivers in Taiwan. The typhoon has also caused 14 breakages on the highways. Seeing the Damages caused in Taiwan, the China Meteorological Administration
raised the level of alert for Typhoon Fanapi. It was reported that Fanapi will subside somewhat shortly after making landfall and heavy rains are unlikely. According to the Central Emergency Operation, two Kaohsiung residents went missing and 75 were injured nationwide. 70 people living in Hualien were injured out of all the 75 in the Nation. Most of them fell over while driving. Downtown Kaohsiung

also suspended their service due to the damages possible by the typhoon. 40 Schools around the country were damaged by the typhoon. Farm crops in Hualien city suffered a major damage. Estimated damage to the country was around US$3.87 million. Fearing residual effects, schools at many places remained closed on September 20. More than one hundred buildings in Kaohsiung City sought spare water pumps to clean standing water in the basements because of the floods caused by the typhoon. For garbage cleaning and environment disinfection work, the Environmental Protection Bureau of KCG has dispatched 1,974 personnel and 458 vehicles. On September 20, it was upgraded that more than 203 schools suffered damages in Taiwan. The damage to schools was US$1.78 million. The typhoon smashed through banana, tea, corn, rice and pineapple crops over 2,046 hectares of farmland. The residents of Kaohsiung
blamed the city's sewage system for the floods. They claimed that the sewers were not designed to withstand the rainwater pored by Fanapi. Mayor Chen Chu
said that the natural disaster fund will be activated if worse comes to worst. Kaohsiung city Animal shelters were also damaged in the wake of the typhoon. Almost nine in all eleven administrative districts in Kaohsiung City were filled with water. The Environmental Protection Administration
, the Department of Health and the Ministry of National Defense were asked to help with the situations in Taiwan

Later on that day, the damage to schools was upgraded once again, saying that 438 schools suffered damages from the Typhoon. It was added that many schools will still remain closed on September 21. It was said that the typhoon related flood victims were given US$945.92 per household. Houses affected by water at least 50 centimeters deep would be given US$630.61 as they said. It was also reported that much of the damage was suffered in the agricultural field. Agricultural losses cause by Fanapi was more than US$65.27 million. The residents of Taiwan finally started cleaning the surroundings of their homes which were badly flooded by the storm. As a finishing touch, the storm caused 1 direct death in Kaohsiung
. Despite the high damages to the country, the Kaohsiung chemical plants suffered a relatively low damage. On September 21, it was reported that the compensation to a family would be increased to US$1261.22. On that day, another person was found dead, increasing the direct death toll to "2". The total damage was totaled to US$210.9 million by the Government of Taiwan.
and many business have also been closed on September 20 in preparation for the storm, as the Chinese government said that it could be the strongest storm to hit China in 2010. The storm passed through the South China Sea
, where much of China's offshore oil infrastructure is located. Crude imports in China were about to raise and the Oil Future was in danger because of the shutdown of platforms. As the storm closed in to Hong Kong, meteorologists reported the system to landfall within 100 kilometers north of the territory overnight, bringing heavy rains and strong winds. They reported that the storm will sweep across Guangdong province causing severe floods and geological disasters to the region. In addition to the heavy torrential rain, the storm delivered strong gusts to China after sweeping through Taiwan in nine hours. It was reported that this storm brought the heaviest rains in a century to the southern Guangdong Province, triggering landslides in some cities. The storm caused destruction in Fujian
and Guangdong
before weakening into a low pressure area. Shuangyao Township in Yangchun City was the worst hit by the storm when precipitation totaled 550 mm in 24 hours. Floods and landslides were triggered in Maoming City where more than 8,000 people were evacuated, though luckily no deaths were reported. Gaozhou

By September 22, the storm had killed 13 people and left dozens missing. The death toll rose to 54 with another 42 people still missing according to a spokesman on September 23. On September 24, the death toll reached to 70 reported by state-run Xinhua News Agency
