Bodies were still being recovered on Saturday from landslides triggered by the storm, which wreaked havoc in south eastern China 10 days ago.
More than 1600 rescuers were searching for nine people still missing under rocks and sludge in the village of Sucun in Zhejiang province, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
About 270 machines were pumping out water, smashing rocks and removing debris in the village where an 18th body was found on Friday night.
Another six missing people were confirmed dead in the neighbouring county of Wenchang where a landslide engulfed the village of Baofeng, the China News Service reported.
