The storm brought heavy rainfall to southern China, with six counties in Fujian Province reporting over 200 mm (7.9 in) of precipitation in 23 hours.
Rainfall was the heaviest in a century in some portions of Guangdong.
Yangchun recorded 548.5 mm (21.59 in) in just seven hours, which broke the daily precipitation record set in 1958.
Elsewhere in Guangdong, 24‑hour rainfall reached over 640 mm (25 in).

Moving ashore in Fujian, the high winds from Fanapi knocked over trees and billboards.
However, damage was heaviest in neighboring Guangdong, where the storm's heavy rainfall caused widespread mudslides in the western mountainous regions.
The landslides cut off traffic between cities, in conjunction with floodwaters.
In Xinyi, a storm-related landslide collapsed a dam at a mine, killing 28 people, including four people downstream.
The collapse also damaged homes and farms while killing over 100 tons of fish.
Damage in the city alone was estimated at ¥460 million (Chinese yuan, US$68.5 million), with 350 houses destroyed.
The floods forced about 128,000 people to evacuate in Guangdong, including 18,930 people in Yangchun.
Fanapi wrecked 16,000 homes and flooded 66,400 ha (164,000 acres) of crop fields.
Throughout Guangdong, Fanapi killed 100 people and provincial damage was counted to be CNY 5.15 billion (US$757.05 million).
Total economic losses in Fujian province were counted to be CNY 610 million (US$89.71 million).

While passing north of Hong Kong, Fanapi produced thunderstorms and gale-force winds in Hong Kong, with a peak precipitation of 295.5 mm (11.63 in).
The rains caused isolated flooding that caused residents in Pok Fu Lam to require rescue.
The winds knocked over 47 trees, some of which damaged vehicles, but otherwise damage was minor in the territory.
