A mudslide triggered by torrential rains may have buried up to 600 villagers in southern Taiwan, media reports said Monday, as the country counted the cost of its worst flooding in decades.

The death toll so far in Taiwan stands at 15, with 55 missing and 32 hurt, since Typhoon Morakot struck the island Friday and remained in the area over the weekend before crashing into eastern China, state-run China Daily reported.

Rains washed out roads and bridges in Kaohsiung County, severing all land vehicle traffic, as rescuers used helicopters to try and pluck people stranded by flood waters reported to be as high as seven feet in some areas.

Video from Taiwan showed a six-story hotel crashing into the floodwaters coursing below. The well-known hot springs resort had evacuated before the collapse.

Government officials said Monday that 1.5 million homes were without electricity, and 440,000 were without water.

The storm -- measuring about 1,600 kilometers (about 1,000 miles) across -- continued to pummel China's populous east coast, but forecasters said it is unlikely that Morakot would reach Shanghai, the country's largest city, which sits farther north along the coast.

Chinese government officials expect the typhoon to cause more than 8.5 million yuan ($1.2 billion) in damages, the newspaper said.

The storm made landfall in the coastal area of Beibi town, Xiapu county, in Fujian province, about 4:20 p.m. Sunday (4:20 a.m. Sunday ET), according to China's state-run Xinhua news agency.
