Chinese language state media report 11 individuals have died and 27 are lacking amid flooding within the mountains surrounding the capital Beijing.
Days of heavy rains have prompted authorities to shut prepare stations and evacuate individuals in susceptible communities to high school gyms, state broadcaster CCTV reported Tuesday. Houses have been flooded, roads torn aside and vehicles piled into stacks.
The extent of rainfall is extremely uncommon for Beijing, which typically enjoys a reasonable, dry local weather. Flooding in different elements of northern China that hardly ever see such giant quantities of rain have led to scores of deaths.
