southern china and the northern indochina peninsula are dealing with serious flooding and powerful winds. our meteorologist jonathan oh has the details. jona? >> hello, we are continuing to monitor as it crosses into land and continues to dump a lot of rain fall. it made landfall during the overnight period in the northern portions of vietnam. you can see the clouds that are really covering the southwestern corner of china, all of vietnam, and a good portion of the indochina peninsula. and i want to show you some video of the area. what happened on tuesday. havoc in south china's hainan province. extremely rough seas left boats stranded several fishermen had to be rescued. the storm also brought strong winds, and heavy rains triggered serious flooding. more than 200 flights were canceled. in gaung shi province, two women were killed by a falling tree. more than 25,000 people were evacuated. with the saturation of the ground, that's when the trees are not able to stay stable and that's why you have those types of problems. it looks like this system is losing its tropical characteristics v

the mighty river winds through the indochina peninsula.he friendship bridge is great increased trade between laos and neighboring countries. the amount of imported goods from thailand is growing yearly and the community is set to be launched in 2015. it will eliminate customs tariffs within the community and allowffdabl hig quality produce from neighboring countries to hit local markets. it's expected to have a huge impact onning agriculture in la. organic agriculture is seen as the key to boosting the doe domestic market. laos is suited to sustain organic agriculture. it has a long standing tradition of natural cultivation. many farmers were too poor to buy fertilizers. much of the land remained uncontaminated by agrochemicals. the government turned that situation into an advantage. it began produce as organic to build a viable export industry. it lacked the know-how to establish standards. the government sought financial and technical assistance from an ngo in swits land. this land to the law firm of the profil project in 2004. one year

the indochina peninsula seeing heavy rainfall, and same thing goes here for northeastern india. you remember a few weeks ago, we were talking about the severe flooding back to the west, in cashmere, and also through pakistan. this is a separate event. still associated with the monsoon. but you can see some areas here, 500 to 600 millimeters of precipitation in the last several days. let's show the video coming out of here. it's pretty rough images. people having a rough time driving through here. about 40 people have actually died in the flooding and landslides triggered by the heavy rains in northeastern india. district administrations called for a holiday on tuesday in this region, calling for all schools and colleges actually to have been closed due to the flooded roads. also landslides taking place in the same areas. meanwhile, about 50 villages have been hit by flash floods. authorities, plenty of rescues out there. unfortunately, people are still low on food and water. this is definitely an ongoing situation. still expecting more rainfall in the next several days. at least

because this is the flow over the western coast of indochina peninsula. the amounts could top as much as 400 millimeters in localized areas of additional rainfall on top of what we already see, about 400 in hong kong which already closed trading in the morning and many businesses ac 400 is certainly enough to cause flooding and landslides. we'll keep a close eye on this. it's not just one system we're tracking, this is another system we have to track. this is a tropical depression for now, but it looks like it's going to keep its tropical depression status as it heads to japan. we'll keep an eye on this into the weekend. as we speak, though, we have numerous thunderstorms supported in hokkaido. this is due to a low-pressure system sitting north of hokkaido. the upper cold level air in the warm and humid moist sea of japan is creating numerous thunderstorms here. upper-level low will then move in, and we'll likely see showers across even metropolitan tokyo. but meanwhile, in western japan, the korean peninsula and northern china, the high pressure system d

more of the low pressure system here that's feeding the moisture towards the philippines and indochina peninsula. 134 millimeters of rainfall has fallen across thailand. bangkok at 34, chance of thunderstorms. beijing hitting 30 degrees, ulan bator still above the norm, but your morning low on sunday could drop as much as just 3 degrees. now here across the american continent, we'll be looking at another system. which is a hurricane still. it's a category 1, it still has tropical storm warnings in place for southern tip of baja, california. as hurricane moving parallel to the peninsula. and it's already packing maximum winds of 150 kilometers per hour. so of course the storm surge, life-threatening rip currents will be bringing rough sea conditions. try to be not venturing out in these waters and 100 millimeters to 150 millimeters of rainfall will be falling across any of these locations and that surge of moisture will continue to move its way up to the four corners and the texas panhandle. so even out towards further north, flash flooding will be possible. flash floods could be possible around

will be coming into the area and affecting portions of vietnam and the eastern side of the indochina peninsula going through the next few days. now, elsewhere in asia, we are talking about high pressure that's bringing in some colder air aloft into japan while low pressure is feeding in some moisture, so, because of that, unstable weather is possible. we are looking at the possibility of some scattered showers for tokyo on tuesday with a high of 29. 27 in seoul. again, maybe some scattered showers. looking out for some rain again, hong kong and manila, and then the southwest monsoon brings scattered showers into bangkok and heavier rainfalls into chongqing. now, there's also a hurricane to talk about in baja, california. this system has already moved onshore and it's going to be a big problemmaker. i want to show you this particular imagery because you can see the clearly defined eye. it was a category four storm on sunday, transitioning into monday, making landfall that resist tense is weakening the system, but winds at 185 kilometers per hour and this storm will slowly move toward the north
