Terrifying flood scenes: Vehicles floating, a bridge swept away, people trapped VIDEO
Heavy rains that hit southern and central China have caused floods in which at least ten people have died. Schools and businesses have been closed in several provinces, while transport and electricity supply have also been disrupted.
In some parts of the central Chinese provinces of Hubei and Hunan, evacuations of residents from flooded areas are underway, while in the city of Jingzhou a historic rainfall record has been broken since the meteorological station began operations in 1953.
The fire and rescue team of Hubei has deployed more than 1,410 firefighters, over 90 rescue vehicles, more than 1,500 pieces of equipment and supplies, and 100 boats to Jingzhou, local officials said, according to China Daily.
In the flood-affected areas, public transport has been suspended, including city buses, taxis, and intercity transport, while authorities have urged residents to avoid unnecessary travel.
