Heavy rainstorms have unleashed chaos in east China's Anhui Province, forcing 195,000 residents to evacuate as rivers swell to dangerous levels. Over 811,000 people have been affected by the extreme weather, with floodwaters disrupting daily life across 35 counties. 🌊
The Yangtze River, Asia's longest waterway, surged past warning marks in its Anhui stretch, while 19 other rivers in the province also breached safety thresholds. In just 24 hours, some areas saw rainfall hit 255 mm – equivalent to a month’s downpour in a day! 📈
Local authorities have deployed 26,000 emergency workers to patrol dikes and manage flood risks, particularly in cities along the Yangtze. The crisis highlights growing climate challenges as communities worldwide brace for unpredictable weather patterns. 🌍
With rescue operations ongoing, residents are urged to stay alert as rain continues to batter the region. 💪🇨🇳
