Storm warning announced in Russia's Vladivostok

VLADIVOSTOK, August 9 (Itar-Tass) - A storm warning has been announced
in Russia's city of Vladivostok. Boat and ferry communication was stopped
in the morning with the Russky and Popov islands off Vladivostok, sources
from the transport department of the city administration told Tass on
Tuesday.
According to weathermen, gale force winds with gusts of wind up to 20
meters per second are expected within the day. This is because the
powerful typhoon Muifa is moving across China.
The press service of the regional meteorological centre said the
tropical storm will change its trajectory from northern to north-eastern
and will approach northern Primorye overnight to August 10. It will lose
much of its force there, and will turn into a usual cyclone.
Apart from gale-force winds, the typhoon will bring in the region
rains of different intensity. They are expected across the whole region,
but most intensive rains are expected in the north.
