Nature flexed its muscles in northwest China this week as relentless rainfall caused landslides and mudslides across Shaanxi Province’s Baoji City. Torrential downpours averaging 67mm – with some areas getting drenched by 209mm in 24 hours – turned roads into rivers and hillsides into cascades of mud.
Key highways and expressways became temporary no-go zones as emergency crews deployed excavators to clear debris. While the deluge caused significant travel disruptions, local authorities confirm no casualties have been reported – a testament to China’s rapid disaster response systems.
The province activated its Level IV flood control protocol Wednesday morning, while Baoji sounded the alarm Tuesday night with urgent flash flood warnings. Weather watchers are keeping eyes glued to forecasts as the region prepares for more potential rainfall.
