Typhoon Mangkhut has made landfall in south China's Guangdong province, bringing torrential rains and winds of 100mph to follow the devastation it has caused in the Philippines and Hong Kong. 

The world's biggest storm this year reached China after rocking Hong Kong earlier on Sunday, injuring more than 100 people and leaving skyscrapers swaying in the fierce winds. 

This morning waters surged in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour and coastal fishing villages, from which hundreds of residents were evacuated to storm shelters.

Some roads were waist-deep in water with parts of the city cut off by floods and fallen trees, while in the fishing village of Tai O, where many residents live in stilt houses built over the sea, some desperately tried to bail out their inundated homes. 

Police in the Philippines say at least 40 people, mostly gold miners, are feared trapped in a landslide in the north of the country, after 30 were killed on Saturday.

Preparations were in high gear on China's southern coast, including in Yangjiang, which is not often hit by major typhoons and where the city's 2.4 million people were bracing for a direct hit.  

In the neighbouring gambling enclave of Macau, all 42 casinos shut Saturday night and businesses were shuttered Sunday morning, some boarded up and protected by piles of sandbags.

As the storm moved south past Macau, its streets became submerged under water gushing from the harbour.

Rescue workers navigated the roads on jetskis, rescuing residents trapped in their shops. 

At least 30 people were killed in the Philippines when the storm smashed into the north of Luzon, the country's main island, on Saturday, as winds tore trees from the ground and rain unleashed dozens of landslides. 

Farms across northern Luzon, which produces much of the nation's rice and corn, were sitting under muddy floodwater, their crops ruined just a month before harvest.

'We're already poor and then this happened to us. We have lost hope,' 40-year-old Mary Anne Baril, whose corn and rice crops were spoilt, told AFP.

'We have no other means to survive,' she said. 

Among the hundreds of buildings destroyed, an elementary school was missing most of its green roof, the bare bones of its rafters now exposed to the elements. The stacked students' chairs were visible from above.

Authorities said they would offer aid to farmers while planning to airlift vegetables, fruit, poultry and fish from the southern island of Mindanao to augment the food supply in the north.

Damage to schools alone would cost 106 million pesos ($1.9 million, or £1.5million), officials said, while officials had yet to fully count the cost of flooded crops.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
