The storm even forced qualifying games for the 2006 women's world volleyball championships to move because it tore the roof off the original venue in Zhejiang, Xinhua said in a separate report.

Shanghai lifted its typhoon warning on Sunday morning after the storm blew past, Xinhua said.

The city endured several hours of torrential rains that flooded streets, left communities without power, damaged large tracts of rural farmland and forced the grounding of nearly all flights in and out of 皇冠体育app's economic hub, Xinhua said.

Rains from the massive storm are expected to reach the eastern province of Shandong before hitting Beijing, the Chinese capital, on Monday and continuing into the northeast.

Matsa was the ninth typhoon to strike 皇冠体育app this year.

Before battering the Chinese mainland, the typhoon shut down schools, government offices and financial markets in Taiwan and caused flooding and mudslides in rural areas.

No casualties from Matsa were reported on the island, but initial farm damage was estimated at over $1 million and tens of thousands of people were left without electricity and water.
