Re: China Rainstorms June 2008

Million flee south Chinese floods
Flooding in southern China has killed at least 55 people and forced more than one million to flee their homes, the government says.

Torrential downpours have affected nine provinces, China's civil affairs ministry says. More rain is expected in the coming days, forecasters warn.

Among those provinces badly hit is Sichuan, which is still reeling from last month's massive earthquake.

Some 87,000 people were killed or missing after the 12 May earthquake.

Farm land submerged

China's civil affairs ministry says nearly 1.3 million people have now fled their homes in the hardest hit regions as the bad weather continues.

Television showed boats cruising city streets, homeowners trying to bale out their home and rescuers handing out supplies of bottled water.

The flooding has submerged large areas of farm land and destroyed 6,600 homes in Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces, the official Xinhua news agency reports.

It says that many roads throughout the affected areas have been covered by landslides.

The flooding in the Pearl river delta is the worst for 50 years, forcing the Guangdong government to issue an emergency flood alert throughout the province, Xinhua says.

China 's rainy season causes chaos every year, often leaving many dead and forcing millions to leave their homes.

In the past, the Chinese authorities have warned that climate change may make the problem worse, the BBC's Daniel Griffiths in Beijing says.

Heavy rains in China leave at least 65 dead or missing

AFP - Monday, June 16
BEIJING (AFP) - - Heavy rains in southern and eastern China have left at least 65 people dead or missing, while more than one million residents have been evacuated, state media said Sunday.

Rains were expected to further pound southern China in the coming days, with rising river levels threatening towns in Jiangxi, Guangxi and Guangdong provinces, the state meteorological bureau said.

According to the civil affairs ministry and provincial officials, at least 57 people have been killed and eight are missing following torrential rains in nine provinces over the past week, Xinhua news agency said.

More than 1.27 million people have been evacuated in the hardest-hit regions, with large swathes of farmland submerged and economic losses already totalling more than 10 billion yuan (1.45 billion dollars), it said.

Almost 18 million people had been affected by flooding while more than 141,000 homes had been wrecked or damaged, the report added.

State television showed people rowing boats in the middle of towns in flooded areas, while in rural areas farmers frantically filled sand bags in a bid to stop swollen rivers spilling their waters on to croplands.

The rains have washed away roads across the nine provinces and many areas have been hit by landslides, Xinhua said.

Prosperous Guangdong province was the worst affected. Rains there left at least 20 people dead, with flooding in the Pearl River delta the worst in decades, it added.

The Guangdong government issued an emergency flood alert throughout the province as levels in tributaries of the Pearl River hit or were surpassing danger levels, Xinhua said.

The government had dispatched 10 special boats to Changle city, one of the worst-hit areas in Guangdong, where up to 100,000 people were being evacuated.

In parts of Guangdong, up to 415 millimetres (16.6 inches) of rain fell in a 24-hour period from Friday to Saturday, Xinhua said, while the freakish weather dumped up to 451 millimetres in parts of neighboring Fujian province.

Food prices, already a main driver of inflation in China, were also rising due to the flooding, with vegetable prices in some Guangdong cities up between 30 percent and 70 percent on Saturday alone, it said.

In Guangxi province, which lies west of Guangdong, officials warned of rock and mudslides in mountainous areas where torrential rain has been responsible for 14 deaths since last week, Xinhua said in a separate report.

A section of the Xijiang River in Guangxi burst its banks on Sunday evening, forcing the evacuation of more than 3,000 people, Xinhua said, adding there were no reports of casualties.

By late Saturday, 134 roads had been blocked and 22 bridges damaged in the province, leading to jams along highways and nearly 1,500 trucks stranded, it said.

Quake survivors among million forced to flee homes by floods

• <LI class=byline>Tuesday June 17 2008
• More than a million people in southern China have fled their homes because of floods that have killed 57 people, adding to the misery of last month's earthquake in Sichuan.

Seventy thousand quake survivors were among those evacuated to higher ground as storms dumped huge volumes of water into already swollen rivers. The worst affected area is the manufacturing hub of Guangdong province, where the Pearl River delta is suffering what officials said was the worst flooding in 50 years.
In the past week the average daily rainfall in the province was double the record and reached 41.5cm (16.3in) in one 24-hour period. Rivers burst their banks, killing 20 people, forcing the suspension of more than 10,000 businesses and causing economic losses estimated at 3.8bn yuan (?250m).
The worst may be yet to come. More storms are forecast in Guangdong and the neighbouring provinces of Fujian and Guanxi this week. "A major flood is feared if rain continues," Huang Boqing, the deputy director of Guangdong flood control and drought relief, was quoted as saying in the China Daily newspaper.
Across China the floods have affected more than 18 million people, damaged 902,000 hectares (2.3m acres) of farmland and destroyed 45,000 homes, according to the state-run media.
In February southern China suffered the worst ice and snow storms for decades. Last month the Sichuan earthquake killed more than 70,000 people.
Some quake survivors are having to move for the third or fourth time this year. Tens of thousands of residents of Wenchuan, the township at its epicentre, are being relocated due to fears that unstable mountain slopes may be prone to mudslides during storms over the next few days. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008...rthquake.china
