BEIJING: Relentless rains, hail and winds of near hurricane intensity battered southern China, forcing the evacuation of an entire town of more than 1, 700 people in the province of Guangdong, media said on Thursday ( Apr 25 ).
As a new round of floodings arrived, according to reports, regional officials cited local officials as saying that cars and helicopters were dispatched to health all residents of the town of Jiangwan in the Shaoguan area.
” I have never seen such large rain in my life, nor had people older than me”, said Jiang, a 72- year- ancient resident who gave just his surname, according to condition- run China Daily.
As a result of the storms, risky mudslides, flooding of homes, and the destruction of bridges, mobile phone networks were disrupted and power lines were down throughout the area.
Moments of chaos have been erupted across the state since the strong storms that came in last year, when dubbed the “factory surface of the world” as dozens of native rainfall records have been broken for the month of April.
