China floods: Extreme rain in Beijing kills over 30, displaces thousands

From Global News.

Extreme weather killed more than 35 people in Beijing, China, after a year’s worth of rain fell in less than a week, forcing the relocation of more than 80,000 people, damaging roads and cutting off power and communications in more than 130 villages.

"The flood came in an instant, you just had no buffer," said Zhai, 33, who runs a grocery shop in Miyun, now a disaster zone amid collapsed bridges, mangled cars and shattered pipelines.

Heavy rains began on July 23 and peaked around Beijing and surrounding provinces on Monday.
