广西16条河流超警,多地拉响防洪警报
Heavy rainfall in southern China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has pushed water levels in 16 rivers past warning marks, local authorities reported on Tuesday. The intense downpours, part of a series of storms hitting the country since May, have triggered widespread flood alerts across the region.
Several counties have seen roads submerged and farmland inundated as rivers overflowed their banks. In some areas, more than 100 millimeters of rain fell in just a few hours, according to the regional hydrological bureau. The rising waters have forced the evacuation of hundreds of residents from low-lying villages, with emergency shelters set up in schools and public buildings.
