The deaths happened after Super Typhoon Ragasa's outer bands brought heavy rain to Taiwan's Hualien county, causing a barrier lake in the mountains to overflow and unleash a wall of water onto the small town of Guangfu.

Having said the previous day that 17 had died, the fire department adjusted that to 14, saying some casualties had been counted twice.
It put the new number of missing at 33, a figure that had hit 152 on Wednesday, as Taiwan searches for people reported out of contact.
